Your opportunity to join in with the innovative Surpass Community

The Surpass Conference is an annual gathering for members of the innovative Surpass Community. The Conference brings assessment experts together to attend presentations and workshops from industry thought-leaders, share experiences and ideas on testing technology, and network with others in the sector.

Delegates attend to learn about the latest features in the market-leading Surpass Platform, share their knowledge and experience, and help each other make the most of this highly respected assessment authoring and delivery platform.

As Surpass grows globally, so does the Conference’s international appeal. Each year, we welcome additional members, all keen to share with and learn from the strongest assessment community, which benefits from more than £7m worth of technical innovation each year.

The 2023 Conference was a fantastic event – you can now watch the session recordings.

Why should I attend?

In addition to working to shape the roadmap of Surpass, delegates look at the future of assessment on a global scale, and how our community can promote best practice in assessment.

Networking is a fundamental activity at the Surpass Conference, with a range of delegates from directors to candidates engaging in intelligent discussion. Everyone who attends shares something in common, and by working together, the community can significantly improve the assessment experience for everyone.

The 2020 Conference was award-winning, taking gold in the ‘Best Online Event’ category at the 2021 UK Business Awards.

“[It is] an excellent user conference. The Surpass Platform [covers] vocational qualification assessment, professional certification, higher education and school assessments from users worldwide. Representatives from these fields share experiences of designing, developing and delivering assessments [in Surpass] making it a great place to find … good practice and make contact with your peers.”
