Festive Gathering Ticket Sales Open

Registration is now live for the 2026 SSS Festive Gathering, taking place on Thursday 3rd December at Dundee & Angus College.

A condensed single day conference, Festive Gathering brings our members and partners together for some informative sessions, breakout rooms and networking; sprinkled with a touch of festive cheer.

Dundee and Angus return as hosts of Festive Gathering having previously welcomed us on campus in 2018.

Following feedback, we have made the decision to move the annual event to a Thursday to remove any conflicts with Wednesday afternoon student sport. We hope this will free up more staff to attend – and for those in attendance not to feel chained to their phone all day!

Tickets

After the success of our early bird programme for Conference, we are again offering an incentive for members to be among the first to register for Festive Gathering.

Those who book before the end of October will be eligible to pay the following prices:

• Members: £20
• Non-Members, Partners & SGBs: £25
• Externals: £30

You can purchase your tickets here.

Agenda

How much can you fit into a single day event? Our agenda is taking shape and will provide a healthy mix of member and partner stories, including plenty of opportunity to network ahead of the festive break. More to come soon!
