Are you curious about the CES 2026 Conference theme, Impactful Evaluation in a Complex World? This year’s theme explores the power of an inclusive “AND” when faced with the need to juggle competing considerations such as accessibility, diversity, economic growth, environmental responsibility and sustainability, equity, Indigenous sovereignty, and social cohesion.
Under this overarching theme, the conference will delve into three sub-themes:
Join the CES 2026 Conference Program Co-Chairs, Debbie DeLancey, Andy Rowe, and François Dumaine, who will introduce the conference theme and what it means for potential presenters. Then, Beth Snow (former CES National Vice-President and former BC Chapter President) will lead a hands-on walkthrough of the proposal submission form and how to prepare a strong conference proposal such as what reviewers look for and how to avoid common pitfalls.
Through this webinar, participants will have the opportunity to learn how to submit a proposal for C2026, including what the conference theme represents, what to include in each proposal section, and what makes a clear, compelling submission that meets reviewer expectations.Dr. Beth Snow’s is a Scientist at the Centre for Advancing Health Sciences, an adjunct Professor at the University of British Columbia, and an instructor at the justice Institute of British Columbia.
