Join us for the special event at the Merchant Square and get a real taste of Scottish culture.

Visit one of Glasgow’s most vibrant and historical venues, dating back to the 1800s, while wandering freely and networking with other conference delegates.

Join us for a traditional Scottish ceilidh. A Gaelic word for a casual party with music, dancing and entertainment, ceilidh (pronounced “kayley”) is the term commonly used to refer to Scottish country dancing.  Many of the steps, including the do-si-do and swing-your-partner moves are similar to those performed in American square dancing. It’s more about fun than getting the steps right, but there is always a “caller” with the band, who leads everyone through each dance.

Located on Candleriggs at the heart of the Merchant City, Glasgow’s cultural, fashion and food quarter, Merchant Square offers an eclectic selection of restaurants and bars. Once part of the old Glasgow Fruit Market, Merchant Square is imbued with the history of the area’s dominating Victorian architecture, although today this sense of history blends seamlessly with the distinctly cosmopolitan ambiance that pervades the surrounding cobbled streets that bring the outside in.

This will be a ticketed event and details will be advised when registration opens in late summer 2023.
