Information for Delegates
We’re thrilled to announce that the ASVA Annual Conference 2026 will return to Perth Concert Hall on Thursday 12 November.
Last year, more than 400 delegates from across Scotland’s visitor attraction sector came together for an unforgettable day of learning, networking and inspiration, making it the must-attend event for everyone working in the industry.

Delegates can look forward to sessions covering:
– Leadership and culture that empower teams to deliver exceptional visitor experiences.
– Fresh ideas and new experiences that attract new audiences and encourage repeat visits.
– Quality in action, with insights from attractions across the ASVA Quality Scheme star rating journey.
– Growing income through better visitor experiences, from retail and catering to memberships, donations and premium experiences.
– Creating memorable experiences that leave a lasting impression and build long-term success.
– Looking ahead, exploring the opportunities and challenges facing Scotland’s attractions.
The full conference programme, including speakers and session details, will be announced soon.
