In this session, five professional evaluators draw on decades of experience doing evaluation all over the world, ranging from small local evaluation projects to large multi-site international projects. Panelists share surprising, and at times embarrassing, moments and how they handled them. Stories include mishaps and mistakes related to fieldwork in unfamiliar settings and technology gone awry.  Panelists will engage the audience in discussions about alternative responses and lessons learned. If you have ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in an evaluation, join us for a reflective session filled with lessons and humour.  

This session is primarily for graduate students and early career evaluators.
