DAILY FROM 6:00PM AEST

The FestEVAL Club, open each night from 6pm, will be a relaxed place to drop in and chat with colleagues about evaluation issues.

The Club will operate according to Open Space Technology principles – you choose the topics you wish to discuss and you can move freely between breakout rooms to join different conversations.

Some of the discussions will no doubt be prompted by the earlier proceedings each day, including the provocations on day one.

There will be a chill-out room where the resident DJ will provide a musical backdrop to informal discussions.

The Club is strictly BYO – grog and bean bag – so settle in for as long or little as you like!

Clubmates

Lewis’s systems thinking super-powers, enables him to see patterns, pathways, and solutions that others don’t…his mission is to help you unleash yours.

Donna was once an intrepid global wanderer, puppeteer and jester who is now revelling in unlearning and relearning the way we do business as she basks on the South Australian coast waiting for the first flight out! 

Marie is a cat groomer, activist and an unsuccessful musician turned mixed-methods evaluator living in Wellywood.

Charlie has the mind of Roger Federer, the grunt of Rafa Nadal and the passion of Novak Djokovic, without any of the success. He uses his tennis as fuel for his evaluation habit.

Greg, a jazz (or dub) wannabe icon, has been conducting evaluations for decades and still wonders whether they are art, craft, science or folly.

Our facilitators and MCs will be there to manage the process, set up topics for discussion and facilitate the movement of people through breakout rooms. And supply the background music. You’ll be providing the content – we’ll look after the vibe ….. and the technology!
