BUSINESS people from Ross-shire are amongst those expected to attend a brand new conference and exhibition in Aviemore later this month.
The Scottish Growth Gathering and Highland Expo is a 24-hour event to be held at the Macdonald Aviemore Resort on February 26-27.
Created by Aberdeen-based Granite PR, the inaugural event is expected to attract 40-plus exhibitors and more than 200 delegates.
Speakers will include renowned broadcaster and writer Cameron MacNeish, Richard Bath of Scottish Field, STV Highland reporter Nicola McAlley, Mark Tate of the Cairngorms Business Partnership and Adam Bell of Moment Agencies.
Delegates who sign up for the full residential package will be able to use the resort facilities as well as attend all the talks and networking events, but the exhibition is free for visitors to attend and network from 11am to 4pm and can be booked via Eventbrite.
Brett Jackson, event creator and managing director at Granite PR, said: “We are pleased to unveil these exciting plans for the first ever Scottish Growth Gathering and Highland Expo and give companies from across Scotland the opportunity to network, cross-sell and build relationships with one another in a unique setting.
“On the back of a decade of successful business networking events organised by Granite PR, this latest addition will allow businesses to plan ahead for growth throughout 2020 and beyond.”
Iain Miller, managing director at Macdonald Aviemore Resort, added: “Macdonald Aviemore Resort has a proud tradition of supporting and delivering first-class conferences and related business events. We are looking forward to welcoming a diverse audience to experience the resort first-hand and benefit from the hospitality on offer.”
