The FLIP+ e-Assessment Community Annual Conference in Vilnius was an inspiring gathering of thought leaders exploring the future of assessment, technology, and learning. Through insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and valuable exchanges, the conference offered an opportunity to challenge perspectives and advance education together.

Beyond the sessions, the connections made during the reception, breaks, and shared meals made the experience especially memorable. A heartfelt thank you to Thierry Rocher, Amina Afif, the FLIP+ team, and the National Agency for Education for their warm hospitality and for hosting such a memorable event.

We are at the National Conference on Student Assessment in Austin, Texas, through June 24, connecting with education leaders, policymakers, and practitioners, and exploring the latest developments in assessment technology and best practices.

Hosted by Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO), NCSA brings together experts and practitioners from across the education community to share ideas and advance meaningful assessment practices.

If you’re attending NCSA, be sure to connect with Anand Karat during the conference. We look forward to meeting fellow attendees and exchanging ideas over the next few days.

Celebrating dads out there. 🌟 Enjoy your special day!
