El intercambio de experiencias y concocimientos y la experienca de Espana, con su peso, tradición y referencia en el sector, representan elementos de gran valor para visualizar aplicaciones prácticas que orientan los procesos de implementación de medidas concretas.
La experiencia de la Organización es un elemento de gran valor en el establecimiento de directrices y buenas prácticas.
Can someone please tell me what referencia means here? Does it mean (leading) reputation?
As a side issue, I would be very grateful for any suggestions on how to translate "...elemento(s) de gran valor" as I'm having trouble moving away from a literal translation here. I can't think what to put for this part.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You were spot-on with your interpretation. "Referencia" is to be interepreted, in my view, as "punto de referencia", i.e., that Spain may be viewed as an icon, a force to be reckoned with or imitated or taken in consideration.

relevance
Although not a translation of the word reference, I think this might work here. Regarding "elementos de gran valor" I sugest something like "... are all very valuable.."
