Big news! 🎉
We’re super excited to share that QAHub is officially evolving into the Applied AI Hub.
If you’ve been with us for a while, you know how much we’ve grown over the years. What started out strictly as a testing/QA community naturally turned into this massive, global ecosystem of 15000+ professionals, tech leaders, and builders across all kinds of practices.
Since the tech world is moving fast, we figured we should too. 😉
With Applied AI Hub, we’re broadening our scope. We’re still all about Quality Engineering, but we’re expanding hard into Applied AI, Product, core Engineering, and Tech Transformation. Think of it as a bigger, better sandbox for all of us to learn, experiment, and share what actually works in the real world. 🛠

🎂 Okay wait, are we actually 4?
How has it already been 4 years since we started out as QAHub? Time is honestly moving so fast.
To celebrate surviving and thriving, we are doing a massive level-up: we are officially the Applied AI Hub now 🤖✨
Honestly, looking at how far we’ve come is giving major proud parent moments. We went from a small community to connecting over 100 countries globally. We stopped doing boring corporate buzzwords and actually started building real stuff together. Huge win to Adam Auerbach and Tariq King for riding with us since day one.
The stats by the numbers:
15k+ people in our community worldwide 🌍
4k+ new people joined us just this year (we are booming right now) 📈
7k of you showing up to our events and workshops
4 years of pure innovation and shared braincells 🧠
There is way more to the story and full stats to check out, so don't miss it.
