About Our Conferences

OPEG is dedicated to providing educational experiences for our members and Evaluators throughout the region.  We hold three scheduled conferences each year.  

  • The Summer Stats Series provides training in specific statistical methods in an intense, limited capacity setting.The Summer Stats program provides free advanced statistics training opportunities and is open for members only. 
  • The Spring Exchange highlights a keynote speaker on a current topic of interest in evaluation, opportunities for OPEG members to share their evaluation work, the election of new Board members, and presentation of awards for contribution to both the field of evaluation and for service to OPEG. Check the event calendar to find out the year's theme and any particular year's criteria. Members are encouraged to submit abstracts for review.
  • The Fall Workshop features invited presenters to provide methodology, techniques, and technology to help evaluators improve skills and keep up with changes in evaluation practice.
See our Upcoming events listing below.  We are happy to share events from all over the region that may be of interest to our members.  Please let OPEG Board of Directors know know about any upcoming events you would like to list.

      Are you working in a school or district that wants to learn more about using evidence-based interventions (EBIs) to improve learning outcomes? Are you a faculty member interested in teaching this topic or working more effectively with your local school/district?


      Evidence Based Intervention Training for Education Program (EBITE) seeks to build the capacity of leaders in education to select and implement evidence-based interventions. They are currently in the stages of national recruitment and are hoping to get the word out to as many interested individuals and organizations as possible.

      Independent Consulting Workshop Series. Laura Keene and I will be providing a 6 part workshop series on independent consulting on Monday afternoons, April 3 - May 8.

      This will be a much more in depth series of sessions than what we offer as a pre-conference workshop at the AEA Conference or through the material for the IC Topic Chats. Because this will be spread out over 6 weeks, it also will give you time to think and reflect on the material as well as build out a business plan using our provided template. (Email me if you want the business plan template and I will send it to you regardless of whether you want to register.)

      We are providing a $50 discount to evaluation affiliate members if they register as an "Affiliate Member" and Use code: "LAC2023".
