Conference Programme

The E-ATP Conference will link the psychometrics of assessment with business and specifically, the labour market.  The programme will consist of three premium industry keynote presentations, a high-level presentation on future R&D perspectives, a diverse choice of parallel breakout sessions, product demonstrations, discussion groups, networking opportunities and a vendor exhibition showcasing leading testing and assessment tools, technologies and services.

Conference Themes

Join innovators in the testing and assessment industry as we cover four strategic themes:

Innovations in Assessment: Provides opportunities to share a new application, technology or test/assessment design, that addresses a particular client or market issue.  These sessions are specifically intended for those who are able to provide interactive presentations and should include speakers from both a vendor who developed the technology, and a client who benefitted from the innovation.

Operational Best Practices: Encourages sharing of best practices through which the value of professional standards has been demonstrated.  These should take the form of case studies that share practical learning in the development and deployment of a testing and/or assessment programme, and should focus on issues that were overcome or addressed through the effective application of best practices.  This also includes the sharing of practical experience in meeting legal and regulatory requirements, as well as developing solutions to address security issues and maintain the integrity and value of testing and assessment programmes.

Meeting the Challenges of Testing in Europe: Illustrates through case studies how cultural, language, national and regulatory challenges have been effectively overcome through the implementation of effective assessment programmes.  We encourage those who have been involved in multi-national and multi-language programmes in Europe to share their learning through this track.

Leveraging Assessment to Realise Talent: Promotes those within Europe and beyond to share how they have created solutions using assessment that has supported the development of talent within educational, employment and other sectors.  Specific topics such as defining and assessing particular areas of skill and potential, leadership development and competency passports are invited for this track.
