The annual AES International Evaluation Conference brings together evaluators from around the world. Presentations include keynote addresses by well-known and thought-provoking national and international evaluators and more than 100 breakout sessions. The three-day conference is accompanied by a two-day workshop program.
About the conference
Each year, the conference is held in a different Australian host city and convened by a dedicated local AES conference committee. The committee identifies a theme for the plenaries and the more than 100 concurrent presentations.
The conference offers a mix of formal and interactive presentations, panel discussions and skill building workshops. Presentations cater for all levels, from evaluators just starting out to the very experienced.
Delegates have plenty of opportunity to network. A highlight is the Awards Gala where new Fellows of the AES and the AES Awards for Excellence in Evaluation winners are announced.
