Educational conference organizers know that holding a conference in Glasgow will allow them to showcase their clients’ work to their peers nationally and internationally. Apart from supporting Scottish education at a national and international level, Glasgow as a venue for educational conferences is rapidly becoming a world leader and a venue which can really raise the profile of educational conferences and their objectives. The Glasgow Pond Hotel is ideally situated within easy reach of SECC and the University of Glasgow, making it an excellent choice for delegates’ and guests’ accommodation pre, during and post conference.
