Outline:
We are very pleased to announce that this year’s R3 Scotland Insolvency Forum will be hosted at the impressive Kimpton Charlotte Square Hotel in Edinburgh.
Last year's virtual event was a great success, and this year will be no different. However, at long last we are looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues in person again!
Scotland, like all other parts of the UK and across the globe, has been through one of the biggest challenges in its history with the COVID-19 pandemic. We now face new challenges as our society and businesses emerge from the impact of these last few years. The Forum will welcome and provide ample opportunity to discuss and debate the issues on the horizon as we continue to “Look to the Future”, our theme for this year’s R3 Scotland Insolvency Forum.
In that vein, we are delighted to confirm our motivational and global keynote speaker will be Steve Judge, winner of the Global Business Awards, Motivational Speaker of the Year 2021. Having gone from wheelchair to world champion, there is no-one better placed to inspire each of us to turn our excuses into challenges! This will be a session not to be missed.
The R3 Scotland Insolvency Forum will give you the opportunity to renew past acquaintances, make new connections with other attendees and just enjoy yourself at a packed day of topical and interesting sessions.
