SSS Conference 2025
The 2025 Scottish Student Sport Conference will be held at The University of Aberdeen! More information on the event is coming soon!
The 2025 Scottish Student Sport Conference, powered by Technogym, will take place on 11th-12th June at the University of Aberdeen.
Always a highlight of the SSS calendar, the conference brings together our community to network, share best practice, and celebrate the success of student sport.
Following last year’s success, we’ll once again be opening up the first day of Conference to SGBs as we frame the vital role student sport plays across the Scottish sporting landscape.
The glad rags will be donned on Wednesday evening for our ever-popular SSS Awards Night. More information about categories and nominations will be released to institutions soon.
Thursday’s agenda will feature voices from across the SSS network, including institution-led best practice, and an industry-leading insight from our Headline Partners Technogym.
Pricing
SSS Members can take advantage of a reduced rate of £75 for a single day ticket, £75 for our awards evening, or for the biggest saving, our multi-day packages: two days for £145 or two days plus awards for £215.
Non-Members/SGBs can attend a single day for £85, with awards available for an additional £90. Multi-day options allow for a two day conference package of £165, or add the awards evening for a total cost of £250.
