Policymakers, researchers, implementation scientists, program evaluators, practitioners, academics and organisation leaders gather at EIS to share and learn about the latest advances, case-studies and new findings in the field.

The Summit encompasses all areas of social service and public policy, and covers the full spectrum of evidence synthesis, knowledge translation and implementation science activity.

EIS is next being held in October 2025 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, in partnership with the Implementation Science Health Conference Australia – presenting, for the first time, a combined program of local, national and international speakers.

The Evidence and Implementation Summit (EIS) is an evolution of the Biennial Australian Implementation Conference, first held in 2012. Building on this successful model, the 2018 event was dubbed the Global Evidence and Implementation Summit. 

Emerging from the Covid-19 pandemic, the event became the Evidence and Implementation Summit (EIS) in 2021.

For the first time in the event's history, the 2021 Summit was completely virtual, with an international audience of nearly 2,200 participants. Supported by 10 global partners, 21 hours of live presentations and discussion events were delivered each day.

In 2023, EIS returned to an in-person format at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (Australia), with virtual attendance available worldwide.
