We have added new features to the app this year. In this session, attendees will learn about the app's features, such as the ability to create individual profiles, access the conference program and agenda, do live polling, and see information about our conference sponsors. In addition, there are features that allow for connecting with fellow attendees, coordinating dinner groups, coordinating SRO groups, and finding activities to do in Seattle. Moreover, there will be a chance to volunteer via the app by choosing the sessions you want to moderator. Finally, we will discuss NCTA's social networking options, including Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Attendees will get tips for using the conference hashtag (#ncta16), finding new contacts, and using social media to leverage the best conference experience possible. Conference Track: Orientation |

You've landed your dream job in Testing Services and quickly found that there is more to it than watching people take tests. The New Professionals Institute is designed to provide those entering the field with fewer than three years of experience with the opportunity to connect with colleagues and engage in dialog regarding current issues in testing. Topics will include Best Practices, FERPA, professional/personal life balance, establishing mentors, state testing organizations, test center operations/logistics, and managing relationships outside of testing.
