Speaker Spotlight: Jonathon Wright | QA Leadership Summit | Students Shaping Innovation
Speaker Spotlight: Jonathon Wright
As AI systems become increasingly autonomous, how do we ensure they remain trustworthy, reliable, and safe?
At PNSQC 2026, globally recognized AI quality engineering expert Jonathon Wright will tackle that question in his keynote, The AI Assurance Imperative: Quality Engineering for the Agentic Era. Drawing on decades of experience and insights from his upcoming book AI Assurance, Jonathon will explore why traditional quality engineering must evolve to meet the challenges of agentic AI.
Looking for hands-on learning? Jonathon’s workshop, AI Agentic Testing: AI Augmented Testing, will introduce practical approaches to validating AI systems, implementing AI governance frameworks, and using autonomous testing agents to improve quality and reduce risk.
Whether you’re a software tester, developer, quality engineer, or engineering leader, you’ll leave with practical strategies to help your organization build trustworthy AI systems in an AI-driven future.
QA Leadership Summit: Moving AI Testing from Pilot to Production
Sponsored by BrowserStack | PNSQC Community Partner
Most QA teams I talk to have run an AI testing pilot by now. Far fewer have figured out how to actually get from a pilot to something production-grade that leadership trusts.
That gap is exactly what BrowserStack's QA Leadership Summit is taking on this summer. The theme is building an AI-first QA organization, moving past scattered proof-of-concepts toward workflows that hold up on speed, coverage, and defensible quality signals.
Worth a look if you lead a testing or QA org.
Join the summit if you are wrestling with how to scale quality without losing control:

Innovation Day: Students Shaping Innovation
Innovation Day isn’t just designed for students, it’s being built with them.
Through the Student Ambassador program, students have the opportunity to help shape the event, welcome attendees, support activities, and inspire their peers while gaining valuable leadership experience. It’s a chance to build new skills, connect with industry professionals, and play an active role in creating an unforgettable STEM experience.
Whether you’re a student looking to get involved, an educator encouraging future leaders, or a community member who wants to support the next generation, we’d love to have you join us.
