Conference attendees are cordially invited to participate in the 2015 Annual Conference Thematic Breakfasts, scheduled for 7:00 am to 8:15 am on Wednesday, May 27. These small roundtable discussion groups provide a more informal opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices on a specific evaluation-related theme, while enjoying your morning coffee and buffet breakfast.   The thematic have consistently received high satisfaction ratings at recent CES National conferences, and we are planning for C2015 to continue in that fine tradition.

Participation in any of the Thematic Breakfasts is free for conference attendees, but seating is expected to be limited, so you are strongly encouraged to consider the Themes that interest you most and arrive early. Preliminary breakfast topics are listed below.

• Younes Mihoubi, Martin Saint-Louis, Pascal Théôret, moderator François Dumaine, Partner at PRA Inc. – Les défis liés à la collecte et l’analyse de données et les solutions pratiques de l’audit interne et de l’évaluation de programme
