What pathways have examination developers of each generation taken to enter the field? How have different educational and professional backgrounds challenged the role and the evolution of its desired skill sets? How has the ever-expanding role of technology impacted the position?

By posing some of these questions about the future of our roles in the credentialing industry, this networking session aims to explore the trends and growth opportunities available to exam developers. This session will invite examination developers and their colleagues in adjacent roles to engage in discussions about where we came from, where we’re going, and how we can all help each other get there.
