Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city and a true gem when it comes to art, culture, music and more, it’s the UK’s first UNESCO City of Music and with such a big title to live up to, it does just that. But let’s not forget, Glasgow is also historically known as ‘dear green place’ with over 90 parks that feature trees that have been around since before the dinosaurs.

Fusing the city’s heritage together along with it’s recognition as a global green city, it’s a must visit destination for the MICE industry.

"Our Journey to Change continues in Glasgow – a city renowned for its vibrancy and creativity , and also as being a city with a keen focus on sustainability, which makes it the perfect location for the inaugural C&IT Festival of Forums. After what has been an incredibly challenging time, the event provides an exceptional platform for Scottish cities and regions to showcase their world-class offerings and expertise to a highly targeted audience of business event planners

“The recent COP26 event, held in Glasgow, placed a focus on key facets of our Journey to Change campaign. The campaign, which launched last year, aims to highlights the role business events play in providing a platform from which to discuss some of the world’s most pressing challenges and how they should act as a driver for socio-economic change. We cannot wait to welcome everyone back to Scotland to join us on this Journey to Change with the C&IT Festival of Forums.

We are delighted that C&IT has selected Glasgow to host the inaugural Festival of Forums in July 2022."
