The flyer for the event includes the phrase:

"The emergence of the ’big society’ has allowed the intangible asset industry to self-birth regulation..."

This makes the somewhat surprising claim that the 'big society' has some connection with the creation of ISO 10668. Given that it was an ISO project started before the term 'big society' had entered political parlance in the UK and that it was as the result largely of an initiative by the German national standards organisation, this seems at the very least on historical grounds, to be a rather odd claim.

Perhaps it was a just a competition to see whether you could get 'big society' and 'self-birth' (ghastly thought…) into one sentence.
