The Future of Evaluation dialogue brings together leading evaluation experts and leaders, young and emerging evaluators and new voices in the evaluation community and beyond, to explore how innovative approaches and adaptations can make evaluation more influential given the evolving global landscape. Thursday, 22 January 2026 8:00 am - 9:15 am ET Are we educating evaluators of every generation, for the future? In observance of the International Day of Education, the sixth Future of Evaluation dialogue on brought together educators, practitioners, policymakers, and young evaluators to examine how evaluation education must evolve to remain relevant in a rapidly changing world. The dialogue highlighted the need for intergenerational learning pathways, future-oriented competencies, and inclusive, culturally responsive approaches that prepare evaluators to navigate complexity, harness digital and AI-driven tools, and uphold values of equity, sustainability, and ethical practice. By reimagining how evaluators are trained across the lifespan, it aimed to strengthen the global evaluation community’s readiness to address emerging societal challenges and to contribute to more informed, just, and future-conscious decision-making.
