Evaluation Conference and Events

AEA hosts two evaluation learning events each year. Each event offers opportunities for professional evaluators to network with the evaluation community and learn in a collaborative and welcoming environment. Whether you are new to evaluation or a seasoned professional, there is always something to learn at the Annual Evaluation Conference and Summer Evaluation Institute.

Annual Evaluation Conference

This event is held annually in the fall and brings together evaluators, evaluation scholars, students, and evaluation users from around the world, where they are invited to assemble, share, and learn from the successes of the international discipline and practice of evaluation. No matter your skill level, the conference will provide the opportunity to be involved in the shared experience through a variety of presentations and learning formats.
