Counting down to the 2024 NBN Thank You Event

The entire standards system is founded on cooperation. From identifying the need for a standard, through rounds of drafts and feedback, to its publication and use, the process is a truly collective effort. It requires the input of experts sitting on standards committees, the coordination of sectoral operators and standardisation bodies, and the trust of the businesses and organisations that use standards to help them offer the best possible products and services. At NBN, we don’t take this incredible cooperation for granted.
Our way of saying ‘thank you’
Our annual Thank You Event, now in its 8th edition, is our way of thanking all those involved in bringing standards to life, whatever their role. It’s a once-a-year celebration of our vibrant standardisation community and a chance to reconnect, reflect on our shared successes, and look forward to future collaborations.
This year’s event takes place on Thursday 28 November in an iconic Brussels venue, the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, with a cocktail reception, walking dinner, and even a private tour of the impressive dinosaur gallery.
As always, the highlight of the evening will be our awards ceremony, in which we officially recognise those who have made outstanding contributions to the development and awareness of standards.
2024 NBN awards – a call for nominees
Standards wouldn’t be possible without the tireless work of experts – from every sector imaginable – who generously devote their time and knowledge to be part of standards committees. With our awards, we want to shine a spotlight on this invaluable and often under-recognised work, celebrating outstanding contributions in four key categories:
When choosing the laureates for the NBN awards, we’re looking at the following criteria:
From experience, we know that much of the work done by experts is ‘behind the scenes’ and often not fully understood by their colleagues.
Which is why we’re inviting experts to nominate themselves!
Are you a standardisation expert?
Do you take part in standardisation activities at a national and/or European or international level? Are you a true ambassador for standards, taking opportunities to raise awareness and promote their use? Then we want to hear from you!
Put your name forward for an award in one of the categories mentioned above and you could be joining us on stage at the 2024 NBN Thank You Event.
Winning an award is more than just a recognition of your commitment – it’s a great opportunity to increase your visibility and further expand your network within the standardisation community. Plus, we invite you to bring your manager to the event to introduce them to the world of standardisation.
