Regional Events Industry Engagement Workshop - Dundee

This event is organised by VisitScotland

VisitScotland is the government funded national agency for tourism and events. It is committed to supporting the events sector by providing a wide range of free to access business support opportunities that respond to the priorities outlined in the National Events Strategy, Scotland The Perfect Stage 2024 - 2035. 

As part of this programme of support, we are pleased to be working with Local Authorities and other key industry partners to deliver a series of in-person Regional Event Industry Engagement Workshops across the country from October 2026 to March 2027. These workshops provide an important opportunity for local industry representatives to hear updates from key sector partners, plus share good practice and feedback on their experience of event development and delivery in the area.
