ASVA Events

Wednesday 9^th and Thursday 10^th November sees the return of Scotland’s National Tourism Industry Conference, which ASVA is delighted to be co-hosting once again this year with the Scottish Tourism Alliance (STA) and Hospitality Industry Trust (HIT) Scotland. This will be the must attend tourism event of the year, with a host of inspiring & engaging speakers and lots of great insights and takeaways for you to take back to your workplaces.

It will also, of course, be a great networking opportunity, with many hundreds of the great and good associated with Scottish Tourism gathering in one place to share their own stories of what has been another uniquely challenging and interesting year for the industry.

To further enhance the networking opportunities associated with the conference, ASVA is delighted to be hosting an exclusive ‘ASVA Members Only’ Drinks Reception on the evening before the Industry Conference. This will be the first ASVA only ‘in person’ networking event we have held in over two years and as a result we want it to be a big one! And we’re pleased to be delivering this event in partnership with our event sponsor, Timberplay Scotland.

We would like to invite each and every ASVA member to join us at the Camera Obscura and World of Illusions in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town on the evening of Tuesday 8^th November, from 7pm to 10pm. There is no overarching theme here, no grand announcements will be made, we just want to bring our members together to network, socialise, let your hair down and have some fun. We also don’t want price to be a barrier, so the drinks reception event will be completely free of charge!  Why? Because after yet another hard year, you deserve it!

Drinks and snacks will be provided, and the Camera Obscura will be yours to explore, giving you an amazing opportunity to meet and interact with colleagues from across our membership in a very relaxed and informal setting. There will also be the opportunity to mingle with some of those who will be speaking at the Industry Conference, so an early opportunity to pick up some best practice.

We would also make it clear that you don’t have to be attending the Industry Conference to come to our Drinks Reception. All are welcome, whether you will be attending the conference or not (of course, we would heartily recommend you do attend the conference too, as it will be a fabulous event!).
