Welcome Message from Marise Ph. Born, President, International Test Commission
It is my great pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the International Test Commission and to invite you to attend the next International Test Commission conference to be hosted in Hong Kong in 2010.
The ITC forms an Association of national psychological associations, test commissions, publishers and other organizations, and is committed to promoting effective testing and assessment policies and to the proper development, evaluation and uses of educational and psychological instruments.
In the line of ITC conferences, the 2010 conference in Hong Kong is an exciting and definitely historic event, as the conference will be the very first to be held in a non-Western nation. The conference will be the 7th in a very successful series of ITC conferences which have become renowned for their strong focus and expertise in psychological and educational testing. The ITC conferences are known for their animated and personal atmosphere in which experts discuss and novices learn about cutting edge research and applications in this field of science. This enthusiastic mood perfectly fits the vitality and energy in East Asia, a region of the world which moves ahead in the domain of testing and assessment of individuals in a relentless pace.
I very much am looking forward to see you in Hong Kong in 2010.
Marise Ph. Born
President ITC

Welcome from the 2010 Conference Chair
It is my pleasure and privilege to invite you to join us at the 7th ITC Conference in Hong Kong. Testing and assessment is currently a fast emerging field in Asian countries. The historical roots of modern testing may be traced to the imperial examination system used to evaluate ability and select officials on the basis of merit in Han Dynasty China over 2000 years ago. This is the first time in its history that the ITC holds its conference in Asia. We hope that the 2010 conference will showcase cutting-edge developments in testing and assessment, and promote exchange on testing standards and guidelines in this part of the world.
As Asia's world city, Hong Kong is a culturally diverse and sophisticated metropolis that blends eastern and western influences into a dynamic destination. It offers a host of memorable tourist and shopping attractions within its compact area. You will be amazed by the diverse contrasts and close proximity of stunning cityscapes and soaring mountains, heritage sites and extensive green countryside. As a paradise for food lovers, Hong Kong is renowned as the culinary capital of Asia where you can taste the best regional and international cuisine.
The 7th ITC Conference is a satellite conference of the 2010 International Congress of Applied Psychology to be held in Melbourne. Delegates can conveniently combine the two conferences with a stopover in Hong Kong after the Melbourne conference.
The 7th ITC Conference will be held in the spacious campus of the Chinese University of Hong Kong overlooking the scenic Tolo Harbour, which is one of the largest and greenest areas in Hong Kong. The campus is located in Shatin, New Territories, with easy access to the city center via the well established transportation network.
I look forward to meeting you at this exciting conference in the vibrant city of Hong Kong in 2010.
Prof. Fanny M. Cheung
Chair, Organizing Committee
