ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The SCLF Annual Conference returned in person again this year at The Studio in Glasgow, a venue many of you told us you loved!
​
This year’s conference was extra special as it marked the launch of SCLF’s 30th anniversary celebrations. Our programme delivered the high-quality insights and knowledge-sharing you have come to expect — it also reflected on the key milestones of the past three decades, while exploring the challenges and innovations shaping our future.
​
To cap off the day, we made new and old connections while sharing memories in a relaxed networking reception.​​​

This was an excellent conference and the inclusion of Eddy's graphic was an excellent and welcomed addition - fantastic way to cascade the entire day into an interesting visual aid
Really enjoyed the walk down memory lane (having been involved with SCLF since late 90s), also some very relevant (and local) topics covered
I always find the conference a great way to keep in touch with contaminated land professionals. I find the venue is one of the best for accessibility, inclusion and networking.
