Meet the Authors – Evaluation Conference Book Signing Event
The evaluation field has long been peppered with great insights, and many of those have been shared with our colleagues through the publication of books. Because it’s a largely academic field, however, authors don’t get quite the same exposure in the open market as more widely-read and popular genres do. So we’ve undertaken to remedy that by making sure you get to meet the pre-eminent authors of evaluation books at the conference, with our “Meet the Authors” book signing event.
Lunch Time Networking
The book signing will be held during lunch time, and will provide a great opportunity for you to connect one-on-one or in small groups with leading Canadian and International evaluation authors. Chat with Robert Schwartz, editor of the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation or discuss Empowerment Evaluation with David Fetterman.
Participating Authors
We have an exciting line-up of evaluation authors for you to meet, including:
- Gail V. Barrington (pictured above) –Consulting Startup and Management - Sage 2012
- E. Jane Davidson–Actionable Evaluation Basics – Real Evaluation 2012
- Stephanie Evergreen – Presenting Data Effectively – Sage 2013
- David Fetterman – Empowerment Evaluation in the Digital Village: Hewlett-Packard’s $15 Million Race Toward Social Justice – Stanford 2013
- John Mayne – Enhancing Evaluation Use: Insights from Internal Evaluation Units – Sage 2013
- Hallie Preskill – Evaluating Social Innovation – FSG 2012
- Robert Schwartz –Evaluating the Complex: Attribution, Contribution, and Beyond – Transaction 2011
- Ricardo Ramirez, Dal Brodhead - Utilization-focused evaluation: A primer for evaluators (Southbound, 2013)
Our authors are also participating in CES 2013 as keynote speakers, panel and session presenters, and workshop facilitators. They are looking forward to chatting with you about CES 2013, their publications or any evaluation topic of interest to you.
