After Boston in 2011, London will also welcome the second ePortfolio World Summit.

The conference provides a forum where researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, teachers, trainers, human resource managers and technologists can discuss theoretical and practical aspects in the planning, design, implementation and impact of ePortfolio and identity programmes, applications and services.

Since 2003 we have established a solid track record as a leading forum for connecting practitioners, researchers, technologists and policy makers in exploring ePortfolio and Identity practices and technologies. The conference is appreciated for its ability to explore current issues while leading the path towards possible futures. Past events have resulted in transnational projects, contributions to policies and standards, networks and partnerships as well as numerous publications.
