NVC General Meeting of Members 2024

Our association was founded on 28 April 1953 and so the next General Meeting of Members (GMM), on Thursday 28 November 2024, we will celebrate our 71st anniversary.

As every year, the GMM combines two consecutive meetings: the Statutory Meeting and the Thematic Meeting.

Statutory Meeting (1-2 PM CET) – members only
The Statutory Meeting (annual report, changes of the board, budget 2025) is members-only. Click here to sign up.

Thematic Meeting Packaging design for all generations (3:00-5:30 PM CET)
Co-inspired by the aforementioned transition to a new chairman's term on the board of our association, we have been delving into the different generations that make up our beautiful world. There are currently eight of them - at least in Western Thought. The Lost Generation (1883-1900) has now largely said goodbye, while Generation Alpha (2013-) has not even fully arrived yet. What impact do the different generations have on packaging? We are all going to find out in a joint activity set up by two young NVC managers: Corné Huijben (1993) and Serra Anker (2001).

There are three parallel workshops and a special inter-generational Mystery Guest will eventually come and assess the results:

① Boost your brand: make your packaging go viral with Gen Z

② Fast & functional: packaging for the busy, health-conscious Millennial

③ Design that connects: creating senior-friendly, accessible packaging

After-party (offline from 5:30-7:00 PM CET)
After the Thematic Meeting, there will be an after-party with a range of tasty drinks and snacks at the Best Western Hotel in Gouda.
