Whatever the event, the purpose has always been the same - bringing together people who care about learning and assessment. Some might be looking for a solution. Others are curious to see what’s new. Many just want to talk through the challenges they’re facing with someone who understands the sector.

And these conversations are what events are really all about. Hearing first-hand about the challenges organisations are facing, sharing ideas and exploring possible solutions helps eCom continue to develop products and services that reflect the real needs of its clients.

Over the years, those events have also been the backdrop to some proud moments, including receiving the Innovation Award at the eAssessment Association Awards in 2019 and winning Silver alongside the British Council at the Learning Technologies Awards.

This October, eCom will be attending The Talent Gathering as a gold sponsor of the event - another great opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new ones and continue a tradition that's been part of the business for three decades.

Technology will continue to evolve, but the value of meeting people, listening and learning from one another remains as important as ever.
