We’ve obviously had to take things online for our 2021 conference, but we’re not going to let that hold us back. We’re really excited about the possibilities this new way of delivering the conference gives us.

The whole SAOS team has been involved and we’ve invited several partner organisations to join the party! As usual, our aim is to engage, discuss and hopefully even inspire our attendees – as well as giving you a virtual shot in the arm in these difficult times.
There will be no doom and gloom. We’ll share 26 reasons why we believe there’s much to be optimistic about in the food and farming sector.
We have speaker sessions examining some of our A-Z topics more closely; we’ll be talking about the need for ambition and focus to find and maximise opportunities that are out there, and we’ll share examples of great work that’s being done by our co-op members, in our supply chain work, and elsewhere in our various workstreams.
We’ll also be asking you all to get behind our new campaign to get rural Scotland better connected – we think it’s about time, don’t you?
Once again our grateful thanks go to NFU Mutual for supporting the conference.
We think it’s going to be great – do come along! (28th Jan from 2pm)
