Last week, Proctor360's team participated in NCTA's Annual Conference in Chicago, and we came away with a lot of positive insight and valuable time spent connecting with the people who have been our core focus-- testing professionals.  Though our vision is to make remote testing a viable option for Higher Education by building better tools and technology, we know that there is nothing that can replace the connections you develop when meeting face-to-face.  The National College Testing Association returned to an in-person conference format this year, and it was a tremendously successful event that proved that very notion.
