Connect with your fellow evaluators and dig deeper into the nuanced shapes of misinformation!
Join CESBC Lower Mainland for an in-person companion discussion to the virtual viewing session. Reflect on André Picard's keynote, "Denial of Evidence in the Information Age" (originally delivered at the 2026 Canadian Evaluation Society conference), share your personal insights and experiences, and bring the conversation into the room!
“In an era defined by unprecedented access to information, the denial and distortion of evidence has become a growing threat to public discourse, scientific progress, and social cohesion. Despite robust data and rigorous evaluation methods, well-established facts are increasingly challenged—often shaped by political influence, funding pressures, and attempts to control narratives. How do we navigate this brave new world? Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?”
This evening will be filled with semi-guided discussion activities, open floor conversations, and opportunities to connect with other evaluators, students, and emerging professionals over light refreshments.
Open to all! Students, professionals, and anyone curious about misinformation. Even if you have not viewed the virtual screening, you are more than welcome to join us: we will ground the evening with key ideas and short transcript excerpts as a great introduction.
This event is free for CES members and $5 for non-members to offset the costs. Please register in advance and flag any accessibility or dietary needs.
