The American Evaluation Association invites evaluators from around the world to attend its annual conference to be held Wednesday, November 2, through Saturday, November 5, 2011 in Anaheim, California. We'll be convening at the Hilton Anaheim, in the midst of the southern California excitement, and anticipate over 2500 delegates to join us for AEA's 25th anniversary conference. Discounted hotel reservations will be available in March.

AEA's annual meeting is expected to bring together approximately 2500 evaluation practitioners, academics, and students, and represents a unique opportunity to gather with professional colleagues in a collaborative, thought-provoking, and fun atmosphere.

The conference is broken down into over 40 Topical Strands that examine the field from the vantage point of a particular methodology, context, or issue of interest as well as the Presidential Strand highlighting this year's Presidential Theme of Value and Valuing. Presentations may explore the conference theme or any aspect of the full breadth and depth of evaluation theory and practice.
