About

Hey 👋🏻 I'm Diana and I've been in the events industry for over 10 years! Currently, I'm in charge of all things events and marketing for Ministry of Testing. As an Events and Marketing Lead, I produce both in-person and virtual global conferences, attracting speakers and audiences from all over the world as well as taking good care of our partners, old and new. I've created great event experiences on cruise ships, within the hospitality industry and more recently for the software testing community. I'm not a typical 9 to 5 enthusiast, I'm more like a 24/7 aficionado of all things events and new technologies. By day, I'm an events wizard, weaving through the intricate world of software testing, event tools and everything events-related. In the evenings, I'm a proud mum to two beautiful boys, I'm probably binge-watching the latest sci-fi or dystopian world series or working in my darkroom photo studio. I put my heart and soul into every event I produce, giving my absolute best to make it a success in all aspects and guarantee memorable experiences for everyone involved: from the production crew, speakers, hosts and volunteers to delegates.
