Innovations in Testing is famous for providing a multitude of session formats, giving attendees many unique ways to learn.
60-minute collaborative discussion between panelists. Each panel discussion must include at least three speakers from two or more organizations.
45-minute session that provides a structured, in-depth exploration of a topic, including insights, examples, and practical applications. Presentations typically have one to three speakers.
Informal, 30-minute, small-group conversations for attendees with shared interests to exchange ideas and explore topics together. These sessions emphasize direct engagement rather than presentation—no slides or formal content.
30-minute blocks where 4 dynamic presenters each deliver a 5-minute talk on a shared theme. The twist? Their slides auto-advance every 20 seconds—ready or not! This rapid-fire format is designed to spark ideas, ignite conversations, and keep the audience on the edge of their seats.
We're bringing back poster sessions—classic, conversational, and perfectly aligned with this year's retro-inspired setting. Poster sessions feature visual displays presented on large boards (not e-posters!), highlighting work connected to the theme Connecting Innovation, People, and Impact.
The posters will be presented during the Opening Reception. Attendees will browse posters, engage in informal discussions, and connect directly with presenters.
60 minute session that brings a structured point-counterpoint format to the conference program, featuring two presenters or teams with contrasting perspectives on a timely or provocative topic. Moderated exchanges, rebuttals, and audience engagement encourage rigorous discussion, critical thinking, and lively participation. Sessions may also include audience polling or voting to capture attendee perspectives and spark continued conversation.
An immersive, hands-on experience designed to showcase the innovations shaping the future of assessment. This dedicated space invites companies to bring their solutions to life through live demonstrations with ~30 participants for 45-minutes. Each attendee will be seated at an individual workstation, fully equipped by TeamCo, creating an environment that encourages exploration, experimentation, and meaningful interaction. Hosted in a private meeting room, each Discovery Zone is built for focused engagement and real-time discovery.
Snapshot sessions are quick hit, 30-minute sessions that focus on a single topic by 1-2 speakers. This session type is intended to provide a speaking opportunity for first-time presenters and those new to the industry. Newcomers may consider partnering with an industry veteran as a co-presenter and mentor.
Connect and collaborate with industry leaders, unlocking limitless possibilities for your career and professional development.
