Here are some of the best places to learn about psychometrics, assessment, and testing – as well as network with industry leaders.
You attending one and interested in connecting with ASC while there? We don’t attend all of these (who can?) but 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 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).
