The Gathering 2026
We can't wait to welcome you to Scotland’s biggest celebration of the voluntary sector at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) on 10th and 11th February. At the Gathering you’ll have the chance to learn, network, and be inspired!
Organised by SCVO, the Gathering is the largest free voluntary sector event in the UK. It's an opportunity for all the amazing people working in and with the voluntary sector to network, showcase what they do and learn from each other.
As well as a packed programme of workshops, seminars and activities, our popular exhibition will be back too.
Watch this space for more information coming soon on hosting your own event or exhibition space at the Gathering 2026, and for bookings opening!
