Come out and join us on the outdoor patio at [The Grumpy Goat Tavern](https://www.thegrumpygoattavern.com/west-des-moines-50th-st) on 50th St in West Des Moines. This is a great time to come and chat with other QA professionals in a relaxed setting, get to know one another, and to find out what people are seeing in the marketplace. It’s also a good opportunity to see what other companies are doing in their QA areas, the tools they use, the problems they’ve seen, and the solutions they’ve discovered.
