Aspen Evaluation Breakfast Series

The Aspen Institute has over 60 years of experience facilitating dialogue on challenging public policy issues. Through our Aspen Evaluation Breakfast Series, APEP hosts convenings to highlight innovative experts who are shaping and redefining the fields of evaluation and advocacy. In the spirit of dialogue, our convenings feature a brief presentation that serves as a springboard for discussion with audience members – fueled of course by ample breakfast treats and caffeine.
