ANDE Metrics from the Ground Up Conference

The ANDE Metrics from the Ground Up conference is a unique gathering focused on practical, data-driven approaches to measuring impact in the small and growing business (SGB) sector. The event brings together practitioners, funders, researchers, and evaluators to share tools, methodologies, and lessons learned in measuring outcomes for entrepreneurs and the ecosystems that support them.

The ANDE Metrics from the Ground Up conference is ideal for anyone working to understand and improve the effectiveness of programs supporting SGBs—whether you’re designing metrics frameworks, collecting field data, or using evidence to inform strategy and investment. Sessions are highly interactive, emphasizing real-world applications and peer learning.

To ensure diverse regional perspectives and accessibility, the conference rotates annually between Africa, Asia, and Latin America. This rotation grounds discussions in local context and elevates regional voices, helping the global community learn from on-the-ground experiences around the world.
