Overview

After a two-year hiatus, we are excited to get back together and talk about our favorite topic, evaluation.  

This year’s conference is about Access and Empowerment. How do we increase the reach and impact of evaluation? Who has access to evaluation, and how do we empower more people to utilize evaluation in their work? How can organizations use data to collaborate effectively, internally and externally? How do we use strategies and methods that involve stakeholders and collaborators who have been systematically excluded? 

Join us as we explore these questions and more in this year’s conference.

The 2022 CESBC Evaluation Conference will take place on October 28, 2022
at the Vancouver Convention Centre, 1055 Canada Pl, Vancouver, BC V6C 0C3 | Google Map

Stream 1: Empowering People and Organizations to Grow Evaluation Capacity

Having a good understanding of evaluation within an organization is key to long term success. This stream focuses on the ways organizations small and large can adopt evaluation practices, such as creating evaluation frameworks and data tracking methods to continually improve and enhance their programs.

• Internal Evaluators: What is your internal evaluation story? What successful strategies have you used and what lessons have you learned? How do you educate and involve your team members in evaluation?

• Emerging and part-time evaluators: How can you build and grow your evaluation practice? How can you build your evaluation practice within your organization?

• External evaluators: How can you support your clients in sustaining evaluation practices after your contract? How do you educate and involve your client in evaluation?

Access is about creating a fair playing field for all actors in evaluation. This stream focuses on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Evaluation and how they relate to access.
