Conference Program Evaluation

15 Days to Canadian Evaluation Society 2013 #cestoronto2013 #eval

header-logo10The Canadian Evaluation Society Conference 2013 is right around the corner! It’s happening in Toronto, from Sunday, June 9 to Wednesday, June 12. Among the keynote speakers who will be speaking include Hallie Preskill of FSG (whose contributions to evaluation theory include Appreciative Inquiry, evaluation capacity building, and organizational learning); George Roter of Engineers Without Borders Canada (@geroter); Sanjeev Sridharan, Director of Evaluation Centre for Complex Health Interventions; and, my man, John Gargani (@john_gargani), whose pioneering work in thinking about design excites me.

If anyone is going to be attending, I’d love to get together. I will be presenting the results of my project on  Developmental Evaluation and its application to social innovation, which won the CES/CESEF SEEK award, over two sessions: Tuesday, June 11, 15:45 – 17:15 EST, the second, to be confirmed.

I’ll be tweeting about the conference at @chiyanlam under #cestoronto2013 and posting lessons-learned following the conference! See you there and online!
