Last week, Standards Australia hosted the ISO Annual Meeting in Brisbane – the first time that it has been held in Australia for 20 years.

Presented over five days in virtual, hybrid and in-person sessions under the theme “Meeting Global Needs”, the event covered some of the most important issues facing the world. Ideas were shared, valuable connections were made and diverse perspectives were explored.

We extend our gratitude to all those who participated in the meeting, both in person and virtually. This includes the dedicated ISO team, as well as those who actively contributed – challenging ideas, driving discussions and fostering collaboration.

Below are some of the stand-out sessions from the week.
