About HUSTEF

HUSTEF ranks among the top three conferences in Europe for professionals in all areas of software testing and quality. Established in 2011, its aim was to create a yearly platform for the best of the software and IT R&D sector to share the latest industry developments.

HUSTEF, an international, English-speaking event, is one of the largest SW quality events in Europe, attracting over 750 attendees worldwide. As a nonprofit organization, HUSTEF’s organizers work for the community and take pride in being a no-pay-to-speak event!

PROGRAM CHAIR OF HUSTEF 2026

Attila Fekete
I’m Attila, Program Chair again this year. I came back because I believe in this profession, in this community, and in the power we have to push testing forward. My mission is not just to organize another conference — I want to rethink how conferences are created, how knowledge is shared, and how we inspire one another.

I want HUSTEF to be a place where ideas cross borders, where juniors and seniors stand on the same stage with confidence, and where we create an environment that lifts people up instead of overwhelming them. A place where speakers feel supported like artists, where attendees feel valued, and where learning is an experience, not a checklist.

 

I want to help testers unlock their full potential — whether that means finding their voice, mastering a new skill, or simply discovering that they belong in this profession.

The energy I get from all of you is what keeps me going. Your passion, your curiosity, your kindness — that’s what fuels the long nights, the countless discussions, and the drive to make each edition better than the last.

I am here because we are building something together: a community that cares, grows, and shapes the future of software testing. And I’m honoured to be part of it.

HEAD OF HUSTEF

Tibor Csöndes
Tibor was there at the birth of HUSTEF and has attended every single conference since. Under his leadership, HUSTEF has grown into a truly international event with hundreds of participants. We also owe the #nopaytospeak initiative to him. Tibor is HUSTEF’s calm, thoughtful, and strategic leader—always considering every angle before making a decision.

That’s why we are here now! 🙂

PROJECT MANAGER OF HUSTEF
