🧸🔎  How Glasgow Fosters Infant Development In July 2024, Glasgow welcomed 1,100 of the world’s leading developmental neuroscientists for the International Congress of Infant Studies (ICIS) at the Glasgow Science Centre and Scottish Event Campus (SEC). But this event was about more than just research and networking—it left a meaningful impact on the city. At Glasgow Convention Bureau, we work closely with event organisers to create opportunities for community engagement and lasting benefits. With support from Glasgow City Council, ICIS 2024 delivered a series of outreach events, bringing expert advice directly to local parents and carers, ensuring the insights shared at the congress reached beyond the venue walls. Jane Brumpton, CEO of Early Years Scotland, highlighted the significance of this approach: 🗣 “It widens the reach. For an international event to come to Glasgow and then we’re able to push [the content] out to the benefit, ultimately, of the children.” This approach aligns with VisitBritain’s BE Impactful framework, helping ensure international conferences in Glasgow leave a lasting legacy.
