2026 DC Emerging Evaluators Exchange Virtual Conference

Conference Theme: "Navigating Evaluation Careers and Identities"

April 24, 2026 9:00am - 4:00pm ET

This is the registration for the virtual conference. This conference will be held virtually on Zoom with an in-person Networking Event from 6 - 8 pm ET following the conference. To register for the Networking Event, please do so here.

The field of evaluation is evolving, and so are the careers and identities of those who practice it. At the 2026 DC Emerging Evaluators Exchange (DCE3) conference (formerly known as DCSCEP), those at all stages of evaluation careers will reflect on what it means to be an evaluator today. DCE3 is a one-day conference planned by emerging evaluators for emerging evaluators, but you do not have to be an emerging evaluator to attend. Through a keynote address, interactive panel, and student presentations, this conference will explore how to apply evaluative skills across fields and sectors, build careers within and beyond traditional evaluation roles, and communicate the value of this work.

If you are a DMV-region student or recent alumni with relevant work to share, please see our Call for Proposal for more information about how to submit a proposal for consideration.

The DCE3 Organizing Committee welcomes participants to the conference and looks forward to learning with you and from you during the event!
