Following the highly successful launch event, the European Association Awards returns to Brussels in 2018. In 2017, more than 250 senior people attended the ceremony and represented the breadth of industries and professionals from across Europe with feedback being unanimously positive.  These awards recognise individuals, teams and initiatives and highlight excellence in how associations operate and serve their members. GCN awards are highly sought after because of the independent and rigorous judging process by industry practitioners and leaders – which means they showcase the very best, as judged by industry peers.

Categories include “Association Leadership Award”, “Best Membership Initiative by an Association”, “Best Association Conference”, “Best Lobbying Company”, “Best Association Training Initiative”, “Best European Think Tank”, “Best Association Newsletter”, “Best Use of Social Media” – for the full list of categories please click here.

The expert judging panel includes Secretary Generals representing associations from a broad range of sectors. Entering the awards is an excellent opportunity to inspire your members, boards, committees and employees, bring credibility to your association, elevate the profile of your association through extensive marketing and branding and strengthen your public profile.  To enter please click here. 

The deadline for entries is Friday 27 October, with the awards ceremony taking place in Brussels at the Steigenberger Wiltcher’s on 23 February 2018.
