Event description:

Join the Systems Evaluation SIG for our online end‑of‑year session—an hour of connection, reflection, and a dash of festive systems thinking. We’ll run short breakout conversations, capture priorities for 2026 on a shared board, and warm things up with a playful “festive feedback loops” quiz. Bring a beverage, a curiosity mindset, and one idea you’d love to explore next year.

Presenter details:
