The conference’s theme is Building Better Evaluation – Increasing and Promoting Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Sessions will inform and connect participants to efforts to build better evaluation within and beyond Ontario. The conference will include:

• A presentation and discussion on evaluation ethics to start and frame the event.
• A panel on the state of evaluation today, exploring trends, concerns, and opportunities for change across a diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-oppression framework from the perspectives of many different stakeholders with Ontario.
• Opportunities to learn about and connect with Evaluation Communities of Practice across different sectors.
• Interactive workshops on methods and approaches to evaluation hosted by leading practitioners from across Ontario.
• Peer to peer learning to facilitate reflection, collaboration, and engagement with evaluators.
• Social events to rejuvenate you both personally and professionally.

A key objective of this event is to facilitate networking, peer to peer learning and to generate meaningful conversations and collaboration across communities of practice in several evaluation domains. We are working hard to ensure every part of the conference will be engaging and stimulating. Sessions will be highly interactive, with lots of small group reflection, discussion, and application.

CES members will be able register for the entire conference for just $150, and non-members will be able to register for $175.

CES Ontario supports CES National’s commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation process and is pleased to offer complimentary registration to Indigenous evaluators. Please connect with our conference team to register.
