Meetings can change the world, and these associations are proving it 🌍✨
The most powerful meetings don’t end when delegates go home. They leave something behind: change, progress and lasting impact on people and communities.
That’s exactly what the , in collaboration with BestCities Global Alliance, is here to recognise: associations turning their events into drivers of meaningful, measurable change.
Meet the finalists:
• Autism-Europe | Autism-Europe Congress 2025
• Housing Europe | International Social Housing Festival 2025
• WindEurope | WindEurope Annual Event 2025
And join us in congratulating the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association, winner of the USD $5,000 Seed Fund Grant.
Thank you to our judging panels for their time and expertise: Ignacio Deregibus (International Water Resources Association), Sarah Fleming (SFA Connect), Johanna Roodt (European Association of Research Managers and Administrators), and Liam Glynn (World Organization of Family Doctors) for the Main Grant; and Tracy Bury (Operandi), Christina Gitsaki (International Association of Applied Linguistics), and Tom Reiser (GainingEdge) for the Seed Fund Grant.
Three finalists. One USD $20,000 grant. Countless examples of how association meetings can create impact far beyond the event itself.
