Ditch the Guesswork: Using ChatGPT as Your Analytics Partner

Led by the Washington Evaluators, April 8th, 1:00pm-2:00pm ET

Event Description:

Data analytics is evolving, and AI is becoming an indispensable tool for analysts, evaluators, and researchers. But AI isn’t just about automation—it’s about enhancing how we think through analyses, refining technical approaches, and uncovering insights faster and more effectively.

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• How AI can help you choose the right analytical methods for your data

• Ways AI can assist in debugging, refining, and interpreting analyses

• Practical applications of AI in cleaning data, building models, and troubleshooting code

• Real-world examples of AI-driven decision-making in data analytics

Whether you’re a data analyst, researcher, or evaluator, this session will show you how AI can be your on-demand technical consultant, helping you work smarter—not just faster.

Presenter: Liz DiLuzio is a dynamic entrepreneur, educator, and leader dedicated to transforming how professionals approach data analytics. As the co-founder of the EdTech startup Data Jam, she has created a vibrant learning community designed to help evaluators and researchers build their expertise in leveraging data to make better decisions and tell better stories. With her unique ability to bridge the gap between theory and practice that stems from her work as a scholar and practitioner, Liz has positioned Data Jam as a trusted resource for those looking to sharpen their skills and advance their careers. In addition to her work with Data Jam, Liz teaches about topics related to program evaluation and quantitative methods at New York University, the University of New Hampshire, and St. Francis College. In her spare time, Liz can be found on a plane, train, bicycle, or car exploring some new corner of the world with her husband and son.

The 7th DC Consortium Student
Conference on Evaluation and Policy (DCSCEP)

Conference Theme:  
Ways of Knowing in Evaluation

April 25, 2025 9:00am - 4:00pm ET

This is the registration for the virtual student conference. This conference will be held virtually on Zoom with an in-person Networking Event from 6 - 8 pm ET following the conference. To register for the Networking Event, please do so here.

As evaluators, researchers, and policymakers, we are called upon to examine accepted practice and reflect on our own values and positionality. Join us for the 7th DC Consortium Student Conference on Evaluation and Policy (DCSCEP) to explore different ways of knowing. This conference invites us to expand our understanding of how various contexts and approaches influence knowing, being, and doing in evaluation. We will discuss, for example, the application of cultural responsiveness, systems theory, and asset-based approaches, as well as the implications of technological advancements across all methods. Together, we will build a deeper appreciation for the varied ways of knowing in evaluation.

Our goal is to provide graduate and other post-secondary students interested in evaluation and policy with an opportunity to present original research and network with professionals and faculty in those fields. We are excited to host poster sessions and presentations where students enrolled in DC area colleges and universities will have the opportunity to showcase their work. 

American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services provided by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) will be available for the keynote address and panel discussion. To request interpreting services for a specific event please contact GAOTranslationSvcs@gao.gov by Friday, April 18th. For more information about Reasonable Accommodations, contact the Reasonable Accommodations Team at ReasonableAccommodations@gao.gov.

The DCSCEP Organizing Committee welcomes participants to the conference and looks forward to learning with you and from you during the event!
