4. Looking for More Consulting-Related Sessions?
4. Looking for More Consulting-Related Sessions?
ICCI has partnered with CES to add a “Consulting” tag to the conference program and PheedLoop app, making it easier for delegates to identify presentations related to evaluation consulting.
We have identified 11 consulting-related sessions featured throughout the conference.
To our knowledge, C2026 features more consulting-related presentations than any previous CES annual conference. This reflects both the central role that consulting plays within the field of evaluation and the growing strength of ICCI as a relatively new community of interest working to elevate attention to this important area of evaluation practice.
We look forward to connecting with you in Edmonton!
