ATP Innovation Lab

For the second year, ATP will host the ATP Innovation Lab – a forum designed to bring to light inventors and entrepreneurs whose technology, products, or services could be “game-changers” for the industry.
The ATP Innovations in Testing Conference is well-known for its high-quality content and for attracting leaders in the assessment industry. With more than 1200 industry-leading attendees, the ATP Innovations in Testing Conference is one of the assessment industry’s largest and best known conferences.
The ATP Innovation Lab will culminate in a judged session on the Innovations in Testing main stage, where participants will present their innovations, receive feedback from judges and audience members, and vie for awards. Special networking opportunities will be provided to the participants during breakfast Wednesday morning.
Innovation Lab Participants will receive one-on-one coaching from industry mentors who can provide business and industry basics, as well as guidance on networking opportunities. Participants will also have access to a presentation coach to assist them in developing their stage pitch and honing their presentation skills. Following the presentations, the judges and conference attendees will vote to designate awards.
