The Australasian Evaluation Society is pleased to announce its international conference will be held in Adelaide, Australia from August 27-31, 2012. The theme this year is 'Evaluation in a changing world' inviting all those with an interest in evaluation to think about the ways our world is changing and therefore how our work is – or could be – changing. This theme provides an invitation to highlight and examine new developments in evaluation methodology and technologies. It also invites the AES and the conference itself to trial some innovative sessions, approaches, and technologies.

The 2012 CES Conference calls for presentations are now open. Presentation modes include papers, posters, panels, symposia, and workshops. The deadline for proposals is November 30, 2011. Although presentations on other topics will be considered, preference will be given to those that address one or more of the following conference sub-themes:

Evaluating diverse populations and programs
Difference within the evaluation profession
Encountering Difference in Evaluation Methods and Approaches

The conference will be held May 13-16, 2012 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
