ATP is excited to announce that we will be hosting the first ever ATP Virtual Global Conference from September 14-18, 2020! The unprecedented events due to the COVID-19 pandemic have changed both our professional and personal lives in many ways. After careful consideration, including other events rescheduling, we have decided to host a 2020 ATP Virtual Global Conference. This global event will combine the Innovations in Testing Conference and E-ATP Conference, along with content from our Asia, India, Middle East and Africa regional organizations. The event will showcase sponsors from around the world allowing you to see the best products and services available to the assessment community all in one interactive place. We are excited to offer this unique virtual conference experience! During the ATP Virtual Global Conference, you will be able to connect and network with others while learning from industry leaders in the testing industry from across the globe. How will the Virtual Global Conference work? The conference will broadcast live on September 14-18, 2020, Monday through Friday, and will have content scheduled throughout each day covering multiple time zones to accommodate the global attendee audience. We are finalizing the detailed program schedule and will send out more information on specific sessions soon. We are also currently evaluating new technology to find the best, most interactive and reliable conferencing tool for hosting this important event. What are the Benefits of a Virtual Global Conference? Many ATP members attend one of the ATP conferences but very few attend more than one. With a Virtual Global Conference, you will be to attend them all and connect with attendees from across the globe. This conference format will provide global testing insight covering all areas of assessment. The best news is that it’s not limited to the live experience as all content will be recorded and available to conference attendees beyond the live conference dates. How Does Registration Work for the ATP Virtual Global Conference? Everyone registered for the Innovations in Testing 2020 Conference will be automatically registered for the ATP Global Virtual Conference. We look forward to seeing you virtually! Questions?

NEW BOOKS RELEASED FROM ATP
The Association of Test Publishers is pleased to announce its newest publications: Privacy in Practice Bulletin Series and Privacy Guidance When Using Video in the Testing Industry. The Association of Test Publishers continues to follow the progression of privacy initiatives, from the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which went into effect in May 2018, to new initiatives cropping up in state legislatures across the U.S., including the California Privacy Act (CCPA), and in other countries around the world (e.g. China, India, Brazil, Canada). To assist ATP members in navigating the legalities inherent in these new laws, the ATP International Privacy Subcommittee has built a series of "Privacy in Practice" Bulletins that provide practical information, discuss principles, and provide guidance that test publishers should be using to comply with the GDPR, and current and/or upcoming privacy laws in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world. Due to popular demand the first eight Bulletins have been compiled into the Privacy in Practice Bulletin Series volume to make the information available to a wider audience. The International Privacy Subcommittee has also just released Privacy Guidance When Using Video in the Testing Industry to help the testing industry understand the appropriate use of video monitoring and recording while conducting tests – and to prepare the necessary documentation to defend such uses. Both these publications are available in the ATP Bookstore.
