The countdown is on - the 2026 International e-Assessment Conference and Awards is just one week away, and after months of hard work, we are absolutely thrilled to be nearly there.
This year's event kicks off with a full-day AI Symposium on Monday, followed by two days of keynote sessions, expert panels, and dynamic discussions covering the most pressing trends in assessment, all running alongside a three-day exhibition packed with opportunities to connect and collaborate.
We are delighted to welcome keynote speakers from PSI and RM Assessment, alongside renowned psychologist Adrian Furnham, Qfqual Deputy Chief Regulator Michael Hanton, and the brilliant Peju Abuchi, a line-up we are enormously proud of.
The theme of "The Trust Imperative: Innovation with Integrity" sets the stage for the kind of frank, forward-looking conversations our sector needs right now, and we believe this programme will deliver exactly that.
And then there's the Gala Dinner. This year's International e-Assessment Awards Gala Dinner is the biggest we have ever hosted, with almost 300 attendees joining us to celebrate innovation and excellence from across the globe. It promises to be a truly special evening.
The Operations Team has been working overtime to make sure every detail is in place, and we cannot wait to see it all come together. This is going to be the best eAA conference yet - and we hope you feel that from the moment you walk through the door.
See you in London!
