They were announced at a ceremony attended by 250+ senior association executives representing a diverse cross-section of European industry and markets on 23 February at the Steigenberger Wiltcher’s Hotel in Brussels.
Claire Wormsley, Founder and Managing Director of GCN Events said:
“We were delighted once again to welcome so many European Associations and recognise the example of exceptional quality and excellence all our finalists set. It is important to celebrate these hard-won achievements and shine a spotlight on the incredible impact for change that associations and trade bodies have on their industry and to the benefit of society as a whole.”
