Quality congress

The EOQ congress, yearly organised since 1956 by a National Representative in his/her country, is a showroom for the EOQ and its worldwide network. It offers quality organizations a platform and a unique opportunity to learn and network.

The EOQ 2025 conference in Oslo (Norway) on 12 and 13 June, which was successfully organised with the support of QRN, was once again a particularly fascinating and enriching experience. Old relationships were renewed and people expanded their networks within their area of expertise.

We welcomed nearly 300 participants from 27 countries. Fifty-two speakers from 24 different countries gave fascinating presentations on the theme of quality and how we must continuously innovate this concept and our methods. The fact that artificial intelligence is playing an increasingly important role in this was, of course, also clearly emphasised.

During the festive evening banquet, the European Quality Leader certificates were presented to the winner and finalist. There were also two highly qualified winners of the George Borel Award this year. 
A nice touch that characterised the atmosphere of this highly efficient yet warm and friendly Scandinavian conference was that, in addition to a completely emptied ice cream machine, 2,000 cups of coffee were served during the two-day event.

We can also share -with proud- some impressions from previous years and look back at -for example-the November 2024 edition in Reims, France with 300 participants and 78 speakers.  Besides numerous inspiring speakers, Celine van Till, double Olympic medal winner and special guest at this congress, also shared her experience as a top-level para-cycling athlete, her journey of resilience, entrepreneurship, change management and physical and mental health.
