A CONFERENCE FOR BUSINESS LEADERS FROM ALL SECTORS

Scotland’s first Industry Leadership (ILG) Symposium will take place on Wednesday 25th September 2024 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC).

The day long programme designed by the ILG Chairs working group includes a combination of presentations and ILG videos that will provide the audience with insights into the priorities and focus for Scotland’s key business sectors.

The Symposium agenda includes high-profile keynote speakers, thought provoking presentations and four themed panel discussions. These panel sessions will explore the latest trends, challenges and opportunities, offering you actionable insights to drive your business and sectors forward plus a session with ministers moderated by political commentator Brian Taylor “Are we delivering for Scotland?”

With three Scottish Government Ministers and twenty-five Business Leaders taking part, plus video contributions from fourteen of Scotland’s key business sectors, delegates attending will have the opportunity to gain valuable insights into the priorities of each sector and make new connections.

The sectors being featured are:
Life Sciences, Financial Services, Aerospace & Defence, Construction, Food & Drink,
Chemical Science, Forestry, Space, Energy, Employee Ownership, Retail, Textiles,
Tourism & Hospitality

Open to all, this conference presents an excellent opportunity to be involved in a ‘strategic think tank’ for industry and to network with business leaders from a variety of sectors, including government.

The overarching core purpose of the symposium is to:

• Enhance knowledge: exchange information with fellow ILG sectors.
• Showcase best practice/innovative thinking: sharing knowledge across sectors.
• Collaborate: create a network across the ILG sectors.
• Identify clear actions: what can the industry do for itself and working collectively, towards maximising and unlocking potential.

Laura Goodfellow, Associate Director, Interface will be speaking at this event.
