Join us for the 2027 RM Assessment Summit
IET London: Savoy Place, Thursday 25th February 2027
9:30am - 4:00pm
The future of candidate experience
Every exam is a turning point. But too often, the system focuses solely on the result, ignoring the human sitting in the chair and the journey they took to get there. At this year’s summit we are stepping into the shoes of the test-taker, following their evolution from anxious students to rising professionals. We’ll dissect the reality of exam pressure, reframe the impact of failure, and map out a blueprint for a supportive, positive assessment experience for all.
Why attend
The 2027 Summit will give you access to some of the industry’s leading awarding organisations already successfully delivering a positive digital exam experience. With over 100 attendees in 2025, this next in series event aims to provide key insights, the latest thinking in the sector and practical application to a bigger audience at an iconic London venue.
The event is free and focuses on developing the assessment community narrative on candidate experience, to help shape what comes next.

What people valued about the 2025 Summit:
I think it's feeding into where we are as an organisation in terms of ... how we address the challenge of AI, both in terms of integrity of assessment, which is important and...we need to act now around that, but also how it embeds in our work going forward.
Really enjoyed speaking at the RM Summit this week. It was a fantastic event with lots of great conversations around how AI is shaping the future of education and assessment. It was brilliant to connect with so many people who are passionate about innovation and making a real impact in our sector. Plenty to take away and reflect on. Looking forward to continuing the conversation.
It was great to see so many assessment experts under one roof and to share thoughts and insights. Sharing our RM Echo milestone as we launched to Public Beta was a real privilege!
It is right, and good, that all of us in Curriculum and Assessment are having these conversations now before it is too late. Thanks RM Assessment for leading the way in considerate AI adoption in Assessment
The Summit showcased how AI is rapidly reshaping the future of assessment - from smarter test design to stronger integrity checks. The day balanced optimism about innovation with a clear call for responsible adoption and collaboration across the sector.
