The Psychometrics Centre, as a long-term collaborator with Beijing Normal University, co-organised one of the forums. Additionally, Academic Director Prof David Stillwell presented his research on personality prediction from automated video interviews. The Concerto testing platform was also featured in one of the invited talks by Dr Jan Stochl, who discussed the benefits of computerised adaptive testing in mental health screening in schools. 

The conference was streamed online and viewed over 28 million times.
