About the Event

What really happens after you hit “Submit” on your first pull request? Join us for a special Voices of Community session by LambdaTest’s Open Source Office, where maintainers and core contributors from Selenium, Appium, and WebdriverIO share the untold stories behind open source testing.

These aren’t polished success stories—they’re authentic conversations about challenges, burnout, breakthroughs, and the passion that drives open source forward. Hear from those shaping the tools you use every day.
