SCDI Annual Lecture - Aberdeen
 
 

 

SCDI has been active in the North East of Scotland for over 40 years and recognises the region as an integral and vital part of the wider Scottish economy. To acknowledge this and to provide additional value for members, the SCDI Annual Lecture was launched in 2004, an event of Scotland-wide interest held in Aberdeen.
 
Now firmly established, the Lecture is attended by around 250 representatives from the world of business, politics, education, public services and the voluntary sector. The format includes a welcome reception prior to a supper followed by the Keynote Lecture. The evening concludes with a question and answer session and a further networking opportunity.
 
 
The 2009 Annual Lecture will take place in January.
