We are excited to invite you to submit a proposal for the aes26 International Evaluation Conference, scheduled to taking place in Darwin, from 14 to 18 September 2026.
With only two days remaining before submissions close, this is your final opportunity to contribute to the program and share your work with the evaluation community.
This years theme "Making space, valuing place"Â invites delegates to engage with the diverse perspectives and contexts that shape how we approach and use evaluations.
We are making space for multiple disciplines, methodologies and worldviews to foster collaborative learning and shared understanding. By valuing place, we will honour Indigenous values and listen to the voices of our region from across Australia, the Asia Pacific and beyond. This is an opportunity to explore the breadth and depth of the evaluation ecosystem – welcoming evaluators, community leaders, funders, researchers, policymakers, data analysts, economists, implementation scientists, social scientists, international development specialists, educators, learning specialists, practitioners, and people with lived experience.
If you’ve been considering submitting, or have an idea you’d like to see represented in the program, now is the time to act. Submissions close on 19 March and there will be no extensions.
