The breadth and depth of training courses offered by Culture & Business Scotland is incredible – being able to tap into such high-quality industry experience is invaluable.

We’ve found the Business Briefings to be super helpful – given that they’re free to members, we more than cover our annual membership fee through attending these alone!

Can’t wait for the networking events to come back, in-person – always a great opportunity to catch up with people from both arts and heritage organisations and business who value culture.
