DTAS Annual Conference 2021: "Community Climate Action" - 5th - 7th September

As we continue to feel the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic, the DTA Scotland Annual Conference and AGM will take place virtually again for 2021. Whilst we are disappointed that we are not able to offer our members the face-to-face, get together and catch up that we would like to, we hope that this year’s ‘Community Climate Action’ programme captures your interest and imagination!

As ever we have built in as much networking time as we can, whilst ensuring that we offer an engaging, thought-provoking and relevant programme. As with last year, we will not be running multiple workshops and seminars at the same time, and will once again record Conference sessions and make these recordings available in the Members' Area of the DTAS website for members to access after the Conference.

Immediately after every Conference session, we will also be hosting an informal networking space where people can come together and carry on the conversation – or strike up new ones with new contacts.

We have also reformatted our virtual Marketplace for 2021 and are delighted to offer delegates the chance to visit our Marketplace Rooms which are being hosted between 1pm and 2pm on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th September by a wide range of different organisations. To find out more, please download our Marketplace Room Host list:
