The Business Event Leaders’ Summit will take place at the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) on 21 March.
Scotland’s Business Events Leaders’ Summit is the first event of its kind in the UK and aims to bring together leaders from the public, private and academic sectors, to discuss how business events are increasingly being used as a tool for economic development, inward investment and attracting global talent.
The summit will showcase the expertise of leading MICE practitioners from Sydney, Singapore, Dublin, and London, as well as Scottish agencies including VisitScotland and Scottish Enterprise.
