The Gathering 2025

The next Gathering will take place in-person on 4th and 5th February 2025 at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC). Save the date in your diary - we can't wait to see you there!

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 bringing you a packed programme of workshops, seminars and activities – including online sessions for our most popular events at the Gathering Extra - you'll find a wide range of exhibitors from the voluntary, public and private sectors at our ever-popular exhibition.
