This year's symposium theme is ‘Effectiveness Matters’, analysing the need to refocus impact assessment to achieve better outcomes.

The EIANZ 2025 Impact Assessment Symposium will be held on Wednesday 27 August & Thursday 28 August 2025 at The Aerial Function Centre, UTS in Sydney. Abstract submissions close Friday 23 May.
