The UK Evaluation Society is delighted to announce Verian Group as the headline sponsor for the biggest UK evaluation conference of 2025. Data in Focus: Driving Evaluation Excellence is a hybrid event taking place online on 19 May and in person on 21-22 May 2025 at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland.
The world is witnessing an unprecedented surge in data creation. Global data volumes are projected to surpass 394 zettabytes (394 billion terabytes) per annum by 2028, fundamentally reshaping decision-making, trend prediction, and efficiency improvement. Ever expanding data storage and collection capacities present new challenges, requiring the transformation of vast quantities of quantitative and qualitative data into meaningful, reliable insights.
The three day conference will explore the issues and opportunities this data explosion presents for evaluators. Through a dynamic programme of keynotes, panels, and networking opportunities, attendees will hear perspectives and ideas that push the boundaries on how we think about and use data in evaluation and the impact of new and emerging technologies.
Nick Posford, Executive Director at the UK Evaluation Society, commented:
“We’re delighted to welcome Verian as the headline sponsor for our annual conference. We will be digging deep into the qualitative and quantitative data that is at the heart of every evaluation. Verian’s expertise and experience makes them a great partner for three days of in-depth presentations and discussions. The conference will be showcasing what works and what doesn’t when it comes to data, to help evaluators of all varieties deliver excellent work.”
Alex Hurrell, UK Head of Evaluation at Verian Group, added:
"Verian is proud to partner with the UK Evaluation Society once again and headline sponsor their annual conference in May. We value and support their efforts to drive innovation and evaluation expertise- goals that align with our own commitment to clients. This year's conference theme, Data in Focus: Driving Evaluation Excellence, reflects the intersection of two of Verian's core capabilities: data and evaluation. We are delighted to support this event and contribute to the ongoing development and professionalisation of the evaluation sector in the UK."
