For many years now, there has been a yearly CLA Summit for LabVIEW Architects. This year we're going to try to replicate some of that success for the TestStand user community. We'll start small (and hopefully grow from here).
This means we're going to start a "mini-track" off the CLA Americas summit that is dedicated to TestStand (basically a small CTA summit). NI R&D has stepped up to help make this happen, as well as a few users willing to help out from the community side, but we're looking for more community involvement (that's what really seems to drive the CLA summit to the success it has had) in the form of any feedback/interest/presenters to help out.
When: Wednesday Afternoon of the CLA Americas Summit (Sept 20. 2017). You'll have to choose between the LabVIEW software test lab hackathon event or the TestStand event.
Topic: We plan to follow the same themes as LabVIEW: Performance and Security.
So far we have commitments from NI R&D to have a features/roadmap discussion, and for a hosted roundtable discussion around security concerns with TestStand applications.... but we're looking for more.
Please respond and let us know if you are interested in presenting (especially on anything related to performance and/or security). Or even just letting us know you are interested in participating as an attendee will help us get the right number of chairs in the room.
If you need more information about the CLA Summit, it's discussed in the CLA discussion forum here (you do need to be a CLA to access this group)

Right now you need to be a CLA to attend the CLA Summit (and the CTA mini-track summit). If this is an issue for you please let us know.
