CONFERENCE THEME - Breaking Boundaries: Charting Paths towards Aloha, Joy, and Justice in Evaluation
Breaking Boundaries: Charting Paths towards Aloha, Joy, and Justice in Evaluation embodies H-PEA’s commitment to innovative, meaningful and reflective evaluation. By integrating the principles of 'Aloha' with a focus on 'Joy and Justice', the theme challenges evaluators to transcend traditional approaches and engage with new, creative methodologies that prioritize people. This call to action encourages the evaluation community to explore how their work can contribute to positive change, centering on impacted communities and fostering equitable outcomes.
We are looking forward to a conference that inspires as well as overturns our thinking about evaluation. Conference sessions will include roundtables, posters, paper presentations, panels, ignite sessions, and skill-building workshops.

PRESENTATION FORMATS
ROUNDTABLE: 60-minute discussion; an opportunity to share a work in progress or an issue/concern. Roundtable presentations typically include a short presentation, followed by discussion and feedback. Roundtable presenters should bring targeted questions to pose to others at the table in order to learn from and with those attending. Roundtables are an ideal format for networking and focused discussion on a particular topic, including work-in-progress.
POSTER: All poster presenters will present in a 60 minute session. All evaluation related projects are welcome. Posters have a chance to win a poster cash award. First place will win $50.
PAPER: approximately 20-minute presentation; one of three presentations in a 75-minute session.
PANEL: 60-minute session on a particular topic or theme involving prepared remarks, debate, and/or discussion by 3 or more presenters.
IGNITE SESSION: A quick paced presentation where the presenter presents 20 slides in 5-minutes on one topic. The slides will automatically advance every 15 seconds. Ignite presentations are short but take some practice to do well. See American Evaluation Association tips for planning your ignite session.
WORKSHOP: Skill-building session lasting 30 to 60 minutes. Your workshop should be designed with much of the time dedicated to hands-on activities that allow for participants to practice what’s demonstrated in a way that will lead to practical application. Proposed workshop abstracts should include an overview of the skills and concepts addressed, a general outline of the workshop, and the learning outcomes for participants.
