Join us on February 17 for the 2027 Annual Learning Event, where evaluation professionals will explore Maintaining Your Edge: Keeping Pace with Change. As misinformation spreads, trust in expertise shifts, and AI advances faster than safeguards, policies, and regulations, this event will offer timely learning, practical insights, and meaningful discussion to help evaluators stay informed, adaptable, and effective.
Be part of a welcoming and inclusive learning environment that reflects the richness and multidisciplinary nature of evaluation. More than a series of presentations, the 2027 ALE will bring evaluation professionals together to exchange ideas, learn from experience, challenge conventional practices, and build lasting connections.
