Sign up today for Thursday "Nights Out" :Would you like to
experience a side of San Antonio outside of the hotel and convention space?
Working with a great team of volunteers, we've put together a range of nights
out for Thursday evening, November 11. These are excursions out into the city,
with a host and a small group, to see a show, have a great dinner, or dance the
night away. Each is filled on a first-come, first-served basis and most
will fill up - you should sign up today to ensure your first choice. All
information and signups may be found online at: http://www.eval.org/eval2010/10NightsOut.htm
Serve as a session scribe:Is
there a specific session that you just can't wait to attend? We'd like to do a
series of aea365 posts - our tip-a-day alerts by and for evaluators - on
lessons learned at the annual conference. As a contributor, you would attend a
specific session of your choice and write up your lessons learned, hot tips,
and great resources identified from the session in a page or less. aea365 posts
are positive and informative - these are not session critiques but rather peer-to-peer
sharing through which those who could not attend the session may learn
vicariously. If you would like to participate, please review the online
conference program at http://www.eval.org/search10/search.asp,
write down the session names and numbers for a first and second choice session
for which you would like scribe, and send an email this week to Susan Kistler
in the AEA office at susan@eval.org with
your first and second choices.
Check out first time attendee advice:
Is this your first time attending Evaluation 2010? We've collected advice for
first-time attendees and compiled it at http://aea365.org/blog/?p=1925
Review the online conference program: When you check in
at the AEA Registration Desk in San Antonio, you will receive a hardcopy
program that includes the titles and presenters for every session with cross-referenced
indexes. However, the hardcopy does not include the extensive abstracts and
descriptions that you can find online nor is it searchable by keyword. We
strongly encourage you to take time in advance to review the online program and
identify sessions that you are passionate about attending http://www.eval.org/search10/search.asp.
Bring
your resume or position description:If you are
seeking an evaluation position, consultant or employee, the Evaluation 2010
Career Boards are the place to look! The Career Boards may be found near the
AEA registration desk and are there for you to share your own position and
