CONFERENCE THEME
Beyond the bubble
Going ‘beyond the bubble' is essential in today's interconnected and rapidly changing world.
Transforming
Embracing ethical use of AI, new technologies, adaptive leadership, innovation, and learning.
Foundations
Paying attention to world views, values, theories, methodologies, tools and techniques of evaluation and where we have come from.
Connecting
Fostering networks, democratisation and citizen engagement, participatory and people-centred approaches, Indigenist evaluation, systems thinking, place and ecosystems.
Cultivating
Growing the profession, building capacity and awareness of evaluation, and knowledge translation.
It was good to be immersed in all things evaluation for a few days, and to have the chance to reconnect with people.
