This session is 100% for you - the conference attendees! Step outside the walls of the conference room to get some fresh ideas and fresh air.

In this session, attendees will participate in small group conversations while strolling the grounds of Colorado Springs or tucking away in a nook if that’s more their style. Moderators will provide suggested routes with highlights to be seen by participants.

The topics are up to you, and may include, but are not limited to, AI, longitudinal assessments, day-to-day challenges facing testing programs, etc. Moderators will bring suggestions, and each group can decide on their own hot topic if another fresh idea comes up.

The session will start and end at the same location so groups can share out of what they heard, what they saw, and importantly what they learned.

Thank you Excelsoft for sponsoring the Test Development and Administration track.
