Since it was first published in 1817, The Scotsman has been at the heart of the debate about issues that really matter. Almost 200 years later, it is still the national forum for discussion on the topics of the moment, from the impact of the global economic crisis on Scotland, to the constitutional debate and the future of public services.
The newspaper - and its hugely successful website - www.scotsman.com - offer an authoritative space for all shades of opinion to have their say on the challenges and opportunities facing Scotland over the next decade. Now Scotsman Conferences brings the debate alive with new conferences for a new world.

Autumn/Winter 2010
The Scotsman Conferences' spring programme was a huge success with 500 senior professionals from across Scotland taking part in our first four events.
We have developed a format that meets the business needs of delegates while furthering the national debate on a wide range of subjects.
Unlike traditional conferences, our events run for half a day as our research has shown that most delegates can no longer afford the luxury of a full day away from their desk. People still need to keep up to date with the latest policy developments and build professional networks, so our sharply focussed events allow delegates to do both without eating into valuable working time.
Our agendas may be shorter but thanks to the Scotsman’s unrivalled access to a national and UK network of experts, each event attracts the best possible speakers and we build in plenty of time for discussion and networking.
The delegate fee is affordable and offers excellent value for money.
Each event is supported by editorial opportunities in The Scotsman as well as online so widening the scope of the debate and offering speakers a national platform.
The venue – the Scotsman’s prestigious HQ, next to the Scottish Parliament – is within walking distance of public transport links to the rest of the country.
Our professional team is preparing the autumn/winter programme of events, which will examine the economic and social challenges facing our country. If you would like to be first to find out what we have in store over the coming months, click here to join our exclusive database.
