Edana, the global association of the nonwovens and related industries, has announced that it has bagged two awards in two different categories at the 2018 European Association Awards, which identifies excellence and exceptional quality by associations across Europe, which was held at the Steigenberger hotel in Brussels, Belgium, on February 23, 2018.

Edana won the Best Association Conference award for Outlook 2017 and was honoured with silver in the category for Best Provision of Industry Information and Intelligence for Edana’s marketing intelligence service and tools (including the highly acclaimed Edana Stat App).

Natacha Defeche, marketing and communications director said, “In our dossier, we emphasised the fact that although Outlook is the annual must-attend event for all decision-makers in this industry, Edana is not just content with a ‘copy paste’ strategy year-on- year. For the 2017 edition, the team set three targets; match the conference content with the industry’s reality, grow attendance while keeping the promised quality of interaction and maximise participant satisfaction.”

Jacques Prigneaux, market analysis and economic affairs director said, “This silver award is our peer’s recognition of the achievements of a tremendous 10-year journey since the creation of the Edana market intelligence department. It is very rewarding, and encouraging, to receive this confirmation that our statistics, reports and forecasts add such value.” (GK)
