Join the Chicagoland Evaluation Association for an interactive, one-hour World Café exploring best practices in evaluation. This session is designed to move beyond theory and into practical strategies that evaluators are using in their work today. Participants will rotate through three facilitated breakout discussions focused on (1) innovative approaches to data collection, (2) communicating findings in engaging and actionable ways, and (3) tools and systems for creating effective data visualizations. Each conversation will center on real-world experiences, challenges, and lessons learned across sectors such as health, education, and community-based work. Whether you are an emerging or experienced evaluator, this session offers an opportunity to exchange ideas, learn from peers, and gather practical insights you can apply immediately.
