A New Name... A New Location... A New Conference Experience

The Quality Assurance Institute is proud to present QUEST Chicago 2008, an all new conference design based on a world wide survey of IT quality and testing professionals. QUEST is a conference experience designed by practitioners - for practitioners.

The conference uniquely blends together opportunities to LEARN, ASSESS, APPLY, and CONNECT to maximize the value of the conference experience to you.   Although the QUEST name is new and the conference has moved from Orlando to Chicago, you can still expect the same warm, personal touch that you have grown to know over the past 27 annual QAI conferences.
