Book Now!The ASSC Annual Conference and Exhibition is the only major event aimed directly at the people and businesses providing short-term let and holiday rental accommodation in Scotland. We are delighted to announce that the 2018 Conference will be a UK-wide event, attracting fellow self-caterers / short-term rental operators, suppliers and industry representatives from all over the United Kingdom.

The Conference will be held on Tuesday, 30th October 2018, at the Hilton Glasgow. We will be focusing on The Business of Self-Catering, gleaning essential insights into future developments in the sector; drawing on the expertise and knowledge of UK-wide experts; understanding the challenges being faced in different parts of the country and offering the opportunity to take away valuable and essential practical knowledge from our break-out sessions.

We expect over 300 business owners, property managers, service providers and industry decision makers to attend. It will offer the opportunity to network with other accommodation providers, industry leaders and providers of sector-specific products and services. It will inspire, motivate and educate.

The Conference will once again be hosted by Willie Cameron, Director of Visit Loch Ness, Director of Highlands & Islands Tourism Awards and Founding Director of the Cobbs Group.   We are delighted to confirm that Xavier Font, Professor of Sustainability Marketing, School of Hospitality and Tourism Management, University of Surrey; Geoff Ramm, motivational and inspirational speaker and Creator of Celebrity Service and OMG Marketing; Stephen Whitelaw, Digital Marketing consultant, Social Media Evangelist and Technology public speaker; and Mark Beaumont, Athlete, Broadcaster and Ambassador will be presenting in the afternoon.

We will also have a UK Industry Overview with representatives from Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales participating. Digital Tourism Scotland will present practical break-out sessions at this year’s event, covering an essential guide to creating a digital marketing plan and social media management tools for tourism.

 Sponsors, Exhibitors & Advertisers

The ASSC conference offers unique opportunities to engage with highly valued and active industry professionals; interact directly with self-catering accommodation owners; have direct discussions with key decision makers; increase your brand awareness and position your organisation at the forefront of the self-catering industry.  A number of sponsorship, exhibition and advertising opportunities exist for businesses and organisations to get involved in and be profiled as during the run up to and on the day of the conference. A range of opportunities are available to suit all budgets. ASSC conference audiences have always highlighted the value of speaking face to face with suppliers they may have heard of but been reluctant to buy from. Our delegates like gaining fresh ideas, and hearing about the latest opportunities within a fast-moving industry.  We invite you to seize this opportunity.
