Assessment conferences are essential for educators, administrators, and assessment professionals looking to stay ahead. These events spotlight innovation in higher education, cutting-edge digital tools, and insights from industry experts.
Are you attending one and interested in connecting with ASC while there? We don’t attend all of these (who can?) but we would love to meet up if feasible!
Interested in learning more about best practices and new research in the fields of psychometrics and measurement? Here is a list of some of the relevant assessment in higher education conferences.
These range from academic research (NCME) to tradeshows (ATP), and from purely focused on assessment (NCME) to general coverage of topics where exams are only one component (ICE, which is on workforce credentialing).
North America has long been at the forefront of educational technology, student affairs, and innovation. The continent will host numerous higher education and assessment conferences in 2025, bringing together educators, researchers, and technology enthusiasts to explore cutting-edge solutions and advancements in the field.
