More informationQA Careers is a single-track online event built around the human side of quality work. This day is for QA professionals considering their next move, whether that is a shift between GxP disciplines, a move into management, or reinvention at a mid-career crossroads. It is also for people moving into QA from adjacent functions who want to understand what a QA career looks like from the inside.
Six sessions run across the day. An opening presentation frames the specialist-to-leader transition. Three panel discussions bring together QA professionals at different career stages to unpack the moments, decisions, and conversations that shaped their paths. Two closing workshops move delegates from listening to planning, mapping their own networks and drafting a personal next-move plan they can act on immediately.
The programme is built around people skills and career choices, not technical specialism. No GxP knowledge is assumed. Delegates can attend Day 1 alone or as part of the full two-day series with Day 2, QA Leadership.
Please note this event will be run using Zoom.

QA professionals at different career stages unpack the decisions and conversations that shaped their paths. Honest, unvarnished, and useful for reading your own situation.
Quality work transfers across GxP areas and borders more often than people expect. Professionals who've moved between GCP, GLP, GVP and GMP and what carried over and what did not.
Stay specialist or move into management: the mid-career question almost every QA professional faces. The cases for and against each route, and what the choice means for the years that follow.
A working session on the relationships that move careers forward. Map your network, identify gaps, and leave with a plan for one new relationship to build.
The closing workshop pulls the day's threads into a person plan. Options, conversations, and timelines mapped into a draft you refine afterwards.
