People

People are at the heart of every conference. Engage with Scotland’s leading academics, students, and local communities to build meaningful connections.

By fostering youth engagement, creating educational opportunities, and collaborating with local charities and public events, you can inspire future leaders and make a significant difference to those in need.

Here are some examples of how to achieve your People related goals. In each instance we can work with you to connect you with our established contacts within local schools, colleges, universities, charities and community groups.
