Join RM Assessment at the e-Assessment Association Conference and Awards 2026, one of the leading international events for digital assessment, learning, credentialing and assessment innovation.
Bringing together experts from across education, professional certification and workplace learning, the conference is an important opportunity to explore how assessment can evolve to better serve both organisations and candidates. From more flexible delivery to more intuitive digital experiences, the event will spotlight the ideas, technologies and partnerships shaping the future of assessment.
As Headline Sponsor, RM Assessment is proud to support this global event and the conversations shaping the next generation of assessment, including opening day 2 with our Keynote Session: 'The experience gap: Bridging generational expectations in digital assessment'.
Why attend the e-Assessment Association Conference and Awards 2026?
The e-Assessment Association Conference and Awards is a key event for professionals focused on improving assessment quality, delivery and impact. In 2026, it will once again bring together senior leaders, policymakers, regulators, awarding organisations, education providers and technology partners from around the world.
For organisations thinking carefully about the future of assessment, the conversation is no longer only about digitisation. It is also about designing assessment experiences that are fair, accessible, efficient and candidate-friendly.
Putting candidate experience at the centre
A better candidate experience can improve confidence, reduce friction and help candidates show what they can really do. That is why candidate experience should be a core part of every assessment transformation programme.
At RM Assessment, we believe digital assessment should feel intuitive, supportive and relevant to the candidate, while still meeting the highest standards of rigour and reliability. That means thinking carefully about usability, accessibility, familiarity and the design of assessment environments, not just the underlying technology.
This year’s conference provides an excellent opportunity to explore how the sector can create assessment experiences that work better for candidates as well as institutions.
What to expect at eAA 2026
The 2026 programme includes:
-
a dedicated AI Symposium focused on the opportunities, risks and governance of AI in assessment
-
two full conference days featuring keynote sessions, panel discussions, workshops and case studies
-
a busy exhibition space showcasing the latest assessment technologies and suppliers
-
the International e-Assessment Awards Gala Dinner, celebrating innovation and excellence across the sector
While AI will no doubt be part of the conversation, the wider opportunity is to look at how innovation can improve the end-to-end assessment experience for candidates, administrators and awarding bodies alike.
Who should attend?
This event is particularly relevant for professionals working in:
-
awarding and certification organisations
-
ministries, regulators and public sector bodies
-
schools, colleges and higher education
-
workplace learning and professional qualifications
-
digital assessment delivery and operations

assessment strategy, governance, accessibility and integrity
If your organisation is looking at how to modernise assessment while improving candidate confidence and experience, this conference is well worth attending.
Meet RM Assessment at eAA 2026
At the conference, RM Assessment will be part of the discussion around how digital assessment can become more relevant, more accessible and more supportive for every candidate. We’re particularly interested in the role that candidate experience plays in successful assessment delivery - from interface design and familiarity to accessibility, resilience and trust.
Visitors will also be able to explore how RM supports organisations delivering digital assessment at scale across a range of contexts, including high-stakes assessment and professional qualifications.
Where appropriate, we’ll also be engaging in conversations about responsible innovation and the role of AI - but always in support of better outcomes and stronger integrity, not as the headline message
Why this event matters now
Expectations of assessment are changing. Candidates increasingly expect digital experiences to be intuitive, accessible and fit for purpose. At the same time, organisations need delivery models that are robust, fair and scalable. That makes candidate experience more than a design consideration. It is a strategic priority.
The e-Assessment Association Conference and Awards 2026 offers a valuable space to explore how the sector can improve assessment experiences while maintaining confidence, quality and trust.
