CES members are leaders from many disciplinary backgrounds who are actively engaging in evaluation issues that affect Canadians and the interests of the international community. Through our National Conference, CES serves as a forum to harness our collective intelligence – fostering the learning and sharing of ideas and experiences among those who share an interest in demonstrating impact and/or contribution to the field of evaluation. The 2013 National Conference will make our academic and practical research more accessible, and our evaluation practice more responsive, to emerging challenges and diverse, dynamic populations.
