Guest Speakers: Jeremy Spafford & Sarah Cassidy (Old Fire Station & Marmalade Festival)


Traditional measurement methods often fail to capture the full impact of place-based work. This session will challenge conventional approaches and introduce meaningful ways to measure success - centring learning, storytelling, and the voices of those most involved. What to Expect: Stories of Meaningful Measurement – Hear real-world examples of shifting measurement approaches. Panel Q&A – Explore key challenges: defining success, communicating failures, and being brave in measurement. Breakout Discussions – Connect with peers to share insights and develop key questions. Interactive Audience Q&A – Bring your challenges and ideas into the conversation.
