The 2014 ICES Conference theme "Developing Standards Professionals Across Borders" will engage all those involved in the standards education community to consider:

• What is a standards professional?
• What are some career paths for a standards professional?
• What educational opportunities and training can best support the development of standards professionals throughout their career?
• How can standards professionals be best supported by their professional communities?
• Opportunities for collaboration and community building leading to global initiatives to engage standards professionals

The 9th ICES conference aims at looking particularly at the education about standardization throughout a professional's career.

ICES conferences bring together representatives of industries, standards organizations, academia and public authorities to foster the exchange of insights and views on all issues surrounding education about standardization, to raise awareness and improve its quality for all stakeholders.
