Scottish FA Convention
The quarterly Congress forums culminate in the annual Scottish FA Convention, a knowledge and information sharing platform for the members, sponsors and partners of Scottish football’s governing body.
A selection of high-calibre speakers deliver a combination of presentations and workshops in an event intended to be shaped by our members for the benefit of our members.

CONVENTION | “What I’m trying to do is go & seek best practices… see different businesses, sports and football clubs to see what they are doing at the top level and bring it back here and measure it against what we’re doing and see what top level actually is.” #HampdenConvention pic.twitter.com/PyJ0pySUhj
