Upcoming and past events.
Breakfast Briefing
Fancy joining us for a relaxed morning chat, coffee and croissant? Scottish Continuity loves bringing our members together for some quality time.
Our breakfast briefings are all about keeping it relaxed and friendly. We meet at local and accessible cafés – this time it's Starbucks on Shandwick Place, in Edinburgh. And don't worry if you're not local, we've taken these briefings to Glasgow and Aberdeen too!
It's not just about the coffee and croissants (though they're on us for members!), it's about sharing ideas, tackling challenges, and maybe even making a few new connections. We'll chat about whatever's on your mind – no pressure, just good company and support.
What's said at the briefing stays at the briefing. We play by Chatham House rules, so you can speak your mind in confidence.
Join us on Tuesday 28th May, from 10:00-11:00 am. We can't wait to see you there!
