This year's workshops offer three distinct opportunities to build expertise, exchange ideas, and prepare for the conversations ahead. Our pre-conference workshops are included in your full conference registration, but spots are limited.
AI has shifted quickly again this year, and assessment teams are navigating a mix of progress, pressure, and practical questions. This workshop gives participants a clear, grounded look at the biggest developments since last year's E-ATP, what's actually changed, what hasn't, and what these shifts mean for real assessment programmes. The focus is on clarity rather than hype, helping attendees understand the state of AI in assessment today and where it's realistically heading next.
This session blends a concise year-in-review, a forward-looking discussion on emerging trends, and a practical, interactive group exercise. This hands-on component gives attendees space to work through real scenarios, compare approaches, and think through the opportunities and risks in a structured but open way. It's designed to be collaborative, practical, and directly applicable to the challenges assessment organisations are facing right now.
Key Takeaways
Speakers
The European assessment security landscape is changing fast. Online delivery, increasingly capable artificial intelligence, organised proxy activity, content harvesting and compromised test centres are creating threats that can move faster than traditional controls. This workshop moves beyond a conventional presentation and puts participants inside realistic exam security investigations.
The session starts with a practical foundation for defensible investigations. The presenters will examine the preparations that need to be in place before an incident occurs, how to structure and conduct an investigation, and how to turn findings into proportionate remediation and enforcement. Legal considerations will run throughout, including candidate terms, rights to collect and preserve evidence, data privacy, cooperation obligations and the decisions that affect what an organisation can do when misconduct is suspected.
Participants will then work through three fast-paced, facilitated scenarios. Each begins with limited information, such as a tip, unusual activity or suspicious telemetry. Working in groups, attendees will decide what to investigate, in what order and why. New evidence will then be revealed, requiring each group to reassess its assumptions and choose its next move.
Speakers
During this interactive workshop, you will be introduced to the fundamental principles of psychometrics and their relevance to test design, development, and administration. This session will:
Understanding these concepts will provide the foundation to make more informed decisions that successfully balance psychometric standards with operational considerations (e.g., limited resources, time, budget, and legal risks) that you face the daily management of your program.
Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and share relevant experiences throughout the session. You will leave this workshop with answers to your psychometric questions and the tools to engage in more constructive conversations with your psychometrician.
