Pouring into QA: Building a Culture of Continuous Learning | 4th Atlanta Meetup

About this event

***4th Atlanta Meetup – Pouring into QA: Building a Culture of Continuous Learning*** A strong QA team is built on more than testing skills. It needs curiosity, technical depth, business understanding, cross-functional exposure, and the ability to keep learning as software and technology evolve. For four years, Corey Harmon has turned a recurring QA team meeting into something more meaningful: a space to build capability, share knowledge, explore career paths, understand the wider engineering ecosystem, and adapt to changes like AI. At The Test Tribe’s 4th Atlanta Meetup, Corey will share what he learned from building this learning culture - what started with testing fundamentals eventually expanded into technology, business, leadership, career development, and the changing role of QA in an AI-driven world. ***Event Details*** * Date: 30 September 2026 * Time: 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM ET * Venue: 5555 Peachtree Dunwoody Rd NE, Atlanta, GA 30342, USA ***Session – Pouring into QA*** ***Speaker: Corey Harmon, QA Engineering Manager at CPower (an NRG Energy company)*** ***How This Meetup Solves Your Problem*** * Your QA team is busy executing but not growing: Learn how protected learning time can become part of the team's rhythm. * Knowledge is siloed within the team: See how team members and cross-functional experts can become part of the learning process. * QA understands testing but not the wider system: Explore why exposure to development, infrastructure, security, data, business, and operations matters. * You are unsure how to prepare QA for AI: Understand how the skills expected from testers are changing as AI accelerates software development. * Career growth feels disconnected from day-to-day QA work: Learn how skillsets, career paths, leadership, and cross-functional exposure can become part of team development. ***Why Show Up on 30 September?*** * Because a QA team that keeps learning is better equipped to adapt when tools, technologies, and development…
