Our team is attending the AEA Evaluation Conference, AEA’s annual flagship event for evaluation professionals, researchers, nonprofit leaders, government staff, consultants, and others who use or conduct program evaluation.

As evaluation evolves, so does the way we come together. For its 40th anniversary, Evaluation 2026 is introducing a more connected program experience, with five streams designed to help participants explore ideas, discover new perspectives, and focus on what matters most.

The MERL Tech Initiative will be there with a session on Friday, November 20, 2026, 2- 3 PM ET, titled “Responsible AI in Evaluation: What Should AEA Stand For?”
