Scotland's EIA Conference is an annual event held in the early autumn enabling 120-150 professionals involved in Scottish environmental impact assessment practice to come together to share knoweldge and enhance capacity. It was founded, and is coordinated, by Fothergill Training & Consulting Ltd, who organise the conference in partnership with the Scottish Government and Scotland's EIA statutory consultees HES, NatureScot and SEPA; all of whom are involved in the event's planning and attend on the day.
The conference plans to return in 2027 and will seek to remain a free to attend (registration required) event. To do this we need the support of our annual sponsors. If your organisation is interested in exploring sponsoring Scotland's EIA Conference 2027 - and would like details of the related sponsorship packages - please contact Josh@fothergilltc.com for details.
