The International Energy Program Evaluation Conference (IEPEC) is a biennial professional conference for energy program implementers, evaluators of those programs, federal and state agency representatives, and academic researchers. The attendees are mainly from North America, but there are always participants from other parts of the world. The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for the presentation, critique and discussion of objective evaluations of energy programs.

The Conference advances the goals of conserving natural resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by helping to overcome one of the key barriers to implementing energy programs – the lack of confidence in the reported results. The core product of this conference is the documentation of unbiased, peer-reviewed evaluations that establish the basis for accurate information and provide credible evidence of program success or failure. In addition, the Conference presents information on current issues, market assessments, emerging technologies, and alternatives to traditional centralized supply-side options. The presentation, discussion, and publication of these analyses make important information publicly available.

Conferences have been held in 1984, 1985, and every two years thereafter. Each Conference is organized by a Planning Committee of volunteer professionals, which is recruited and guided by a Board of Directors and assisted by a part-time conference coordinator. In conjunction with the Conference, the Planning Committee also offers educational workshops on relevant topics.
