[edit] History of EuroSTAR
The first EuroSTAR conference took place in London in 1993, and both the conference and community have been busy growing ever since.
EuroSTAR stands for European Software Testing Analysis & Review.
EuroSTAR is a pan-European software testing conference, and takes place in a different European city each year. Cities visited so far include London (1993, 1995) Brussels (1994, 1997) Amsterdam (1996, 2003) , Edinburgh (1997, 2002), Munich (1998), Barcelona (1999), Copenhagen (2000, 2005, 2010), Manchester (2006, 2011), Stockholm (2001, 2003, 2007, 2009), Cologne (2004), The Hague (2008).
In recent years The UK, Scandinavia and The Netherlands have emerged as real activity areas for Software Testing in Europe, making these geographies the easy and obvious choice for the conference organisers. Conferences are planned about 18 months in advance, and many years the 'next' location is not announced until that years conference has begun.
EuroSTAR is a sister conference (though not financially connected) to STAR East and STAR West in the USA, and was brought to Europe by Bill Hetzel, who ran the first London conference in 1993 in conjunction with the British Computer Society.
The current team at EuroSTAR is headed up by Lorraine Banks (Murphy) since 1998 and works out of Galway, Ireland. Nicola McCombie is the Conference Manager, Emer O'Connor is responsible for Marketing, Andrew McDonald heads up Sales, Miriam O'Brien is responsible for Online Marketing, Siobhan Hunt is Conference Administrator and Joan Daly is Financial Controller.
