A Global Gathering for a Shared Future

The 2025 ISO Plenary represents more than an international meeting—it is a moment of global alignment around the role of standards in shaping a sustainable future.

Bringing together delegates from every region of the world presents a unique challenge. Diverse cultures, economies, industries, and priorities must converge around shared goals at a time when the pace of change is accelerating and the need for coordinated action has never been greater. Attracting participation requires more than logistics—it requires purpose, clarity, and trust.

In 2025, the challenge was not simply to gather people in one place, but to create a compelling reason for the world to come together: to collaborate, to align, and to act.
