| CESBC 2025 Evaluation Conference | Unfolding the Evaluation Journey When: November 21, 2025 Location: SFU Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, BC V6B 5K3 |
Overview CESBC is excited to announce the 2025 annual one-day conference, dedicated to continuing our mission of bringing meaningful learning and deeper growth to the BC evaluation community. Through engaging and interactive presentations, workshops, and networking activities, we aim to foster an environment for collaborative knowledge exchange. This year's conference invites participants to approach evaluation as a path filled with opportunities to learn, adapt, and deepen our understanding of the practice and its impact. This conference is an opportunity to share those experiences — to highlight successes, explore emerging questions, and uncover new possibilities together. We will also reflect on how our evaluation practices and skills evolve over time, how we make meaning amid complexity, and how diverse perspectives shape and guide our evaluation journey. The 2025 conference theme will be explored across three streams, representing different stages of an evaluation. We also strongly encourage thoughtful integration and discussion of justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in sessions across all streams. 1. Planning to Implementation The conference is an opportunity to share experiences from our work, bring forward ideas, and present questions and challenges for discussion with the BC evaluation community. We look forward to your participation!
