Closing Keynote (Afternoon): Point, Counter Point

This year we have a very unique closing you won’t want to miss. The afternoon keynote will be a Lincoln-Douglas style debate between Dr. Paul Jorgensen and David Crosby. Paul Jorgensen is a professor at GVSU who is also the author of Software Testing: A Craftsman’s Approach (considered one of the top five books on testing by IEEE). Paul Jorgensen also has over 20 years with GTE as the head of a software development division. Dave Crosby is a software engineer at Atomic Object, a company that has proven the effectiveness of agile methods. Paul and Dave have known each other for sometime (Dave was Paul’s student at GVSU). Sometimes they agree, sometimes they disagree. You’ll enjoy the give and take between two professionals who are also good friends.
