Conference & Incentives

Rewarding your successful staff with an activity based incentive event is fast becoming the most successful of all the rewards available. Bring your company into line with other market leaders and develop a unique programme to offer your company’s greatest assets – your key staff.

When it comes to entertaining clients, look no further. Our extensive experience allows us to offer a huge range of quality experiences either using a customised itinerary, or reserving hospitality space at one of the world top sporting events.  Perhaps you would like to try something completely different, reserve a castle for your exclusive use, charter a seaplane or helicopter for a treasure hunt, drive a tank or race a motor-racing car round a track. Or simply enjoy a deluxe away day  on the Orient Express or Royal Scotsman train and enjoy fine dining and fantastic wines whilst observing some spectacular scenery.


1st Events works with the conference organiser in your company and the conference professional in the hotel or conference venue to create all the external arrangements that are essential to the smooth running of the conference:

  1. Venue finding
  2. Familiarisation visits
  3. Airport transfers.
  4. Booking accommodation, if the delegates are spread between several hotels we can co-ordinate the accommodation requirements and manage the rooming lists.
  5. Locating special dinner locations off site.
  6. Welcome gift packs with embroidered merchandise or specially crafted items
  7. Team Building events
  8. Partner Programmes.
  9. Foreign language guides
  10. Pre or post conference leisure programmes for those wishing to extend their visit elsewhere in Scotland, Ireland or London.

Remember Scotland has a 12 month season for conferences located indoors. For those involving outside activities, these are usually held between the months of April – October.

For those scheduled between November and March, there are a number of cost saving benefits including accommodation, and air travel.
