Delivering Quality and Authenticity at Speed
Join Forces to Deliver Player‑First QA and Loc and Master Automation

GQF is here this year to help us answer the most important question - How can we protect our number one metric (quality) whilst moving faster and spending less?
This goes beyond present challenges – and focuses on how to define the future of QA and Loc, and our role within it - GQF will champion how human craft can work alongside technology to continue delivering player experiences that resonate.

From strong foundations to best-in-class, we'll be discussing:
• How do we harness our human talent and authenticity to continue to deliver immersive player experiences?
• How do we, as leaders and contributors, diversify our skillsets to define disciplines that work with technology, and by doing so, go beyond traditional testing and translation?
• How can QA and Loc be the protectors of quality and authenticity, now and in the future?

We hope to see you at GQF this year, not only to join this amazing community of professionals, but to bring back true ROI to your studio - whilst future-proofing your own career. We can't wait to see you in June!

The only event to bring together Quality Assurance, Localization & Production professionals in one unique forum 🙌

WHAT THE QA AND LOC COMMUNITY THOUGHT OF #GQF

These presentations were very well-rehearsed, there was a lot of story-telling and they were incredibly helpful reminders of why we work in games and what this can bring to others

There were a ton of great speakers bringing their expertise to the table. I appreciated the diversity in backgrounds, experiences, and companies, and very much hope to continue seeing that group expand even more in the future

GQF is always a very valuable event. This year, I have particularly appreciated the mentorship programme that happened on the first day, but also how detailed many of the presentations have been. All speakers have been very open when discussing their processes and solutions. I've come back to work with a long list of ideas to implement in my team

There's much to be done in the dynamic world of localisation and I am excited to be a part of it. GQF helped me to spark renewed passion

This year's event was very good and had some incredible insights on automation. I had some interesting talks about Latin American Spanish localisation as well. The event constantly keeps me aware of movements in the industry and I look forward to it each year

The event has been immensely worthwhile! It was my first GQF, but I was able to connect with a lot of people, both on the developer and service provider end. I learned a lot about the current trends in the industry. It was also comforting to talk with other localisation professionals and learn that we all share many of the same struggles. Looking forward to next year's event!

This year, honestly, was fantastic. The talk content was great, the sponsors were more diverse and didn't just include testing vendors, and we had the off-site social event which we missed last year. The social networking was better than previous years
