Although the CIPS Conference was unexpectedly disrupted by a bomb disposal operation, it was a great success with over 230 participants, a fully booked exhibition and lively discussions. It was great to meet our network and as well new faces and colleagues!

On the final day of the conference, we were delighted to welcome representatives of ECPE member companies, both in person and online, to our General Meeting.

69 participants attended the ECPE General Meeting and listened not only to the report on the activities of the ECPE Chairman, Prof. Leo Lorenz, and the Managing Director, Thomas Harder, over the past year. Ideas for new activities were put forward and discussed by representatives of the member companies, and, of course, the new members briefly presented their reasons for joining the ECPE. The ECPE as an association is carried by its industrial members – and the rising membership figures over the last 22 years are clear proof of its success!
