aes24 International Evaluation Conference

Authors: Charlie Tulloch (Policy Performance)

Many people will be attending their first AES conference - welcome!
This workshop is targeted at new and emerging evaluators who are seeking to build their familiarity with the key concepts and language used in evaluation and the main elements of evaluation project delivery.
This will provide you with a plotted history of the evaluation field so you feel more comfortable engaging in deeper-dive topics over coming days. The session is grounded in theory, drawing on leading thinkers and methods that are central to our practice.
Key concepts to be covered include: what is evaluation? why should we evaluate? what can be evaluated? when to evaluate? how to evaluate? where can I learn more about evaluation?
The forum will help many brave young and emerging evaluators to navigate through often choppy evaluation waters so they don't feel 'all at sea' over coming days.
