Officials Conference 2025

To Book onto the course click here

This years Officials Conference will take place in the new state of the art Carnegie Conference & Events Centre in Dunfermline.

The day will be filled with presentations, updates, workshops and the chance to debate the scenario session and learn something new about a different discipline. You will also have the chance to socialise with fellow colleagues and meet some new once along the way.

Lunch will be provided and this will not be our usual sandwich and packet or crips, you will be seated in the dinning hall and treated to a 2 course lunch. Goodie bags will be handed out at the end of the day.

We look forward to welcoming you on the day
