This first annual conference is a graduate student-led gathering intended to connect students with evaluation experts in the Denver Metro Area. We seek to build authentic relationships between current and future evaluation practitioners through a series of sessions fostering dialogue, networking, and mentoring.

Practitioners and students of evaluation will come together to engage in problem-solving discussion. The conference will provide a shared, safe space to examine challenges and lessons learned from past and ongoing evaluations. Presenters will share original work, gather feedback from a broad audience regarding evaluation practices, and consider how best to translate evaluation theory into everyday practice. Sessions will be structured around presentations, problem-solving roundtables, skill-building sessions, student research roundtables, and reflective panel discussions. We also hope to offer a ‘state of the workforce’ panel discussion regarding the status of evaluation in Colorado, anticipated evaluation workforce needs, and preparation of aspiring evaluators to meet those needs.
