Online summit · Free to attend
AI marking has moved from experiment to production. With the FAB annual conference behind us, the question is what happens next — real evidence from awarding organisations and training providers already marking with AI, and what that means for 2027.
About the event
The AI Marking & Feedback Summit is a focused, half-day online event for the people making decisions about assessment delivery. Held after the FAB annual conference, it moves the conversation on from what has already been proven to what comes next: the marking and feedback innovations shaping 2027, grounded in real data and the operational detail that conference keynotes leave out.
Whether you are evaluating AI marking for the first time or scaling an existing deployment, this summit gives you the evidence, the contacts and the practical insight to plan the year ahead with confidence.
Presented by Sainaptic · Hosted by Tim Burnett, Education Tech Consulting · Media partner Test Community Network
Programme
The host
Where AI marking sits as the FAB annual conference closes, what the summit will cover, and why the next twelve months matter.
Speaker to be announced
A senior voice on AI in assessment and the funding landscape, including apprenticeship funding, and what it means for awarding organisations and training providers.
Speakers to be announced
A panel of awarding organisation and training provider customers, chaired by the host. Organisations already using AI marking and feedback share what has worked, what hasn't, and what they wish they'd known — showing the journey from marking and feedback through to quality assurance, and bringing both the awarding organisation and the training provider view. May include short video insights from centre users.
The Sainaptic team
What the next twelve months hold across moderation, quality assurance and assessment analytics, and how it fits the broader assessment workflow.
Coffee and stretch.
