About Scottish Event Campus (SEC)

Scottish Event Campus (SEC), one of Glasgow’s most iconic buildings, is Scotland's national venue for public events and the UK's largest integrated exhibition and conference centre.

This facility, in the heart of one of Europe's most vibrant cities, is perfect for conferences, exhibitions and live entertainment events. That’s why you’ll often find the biggest and best events being hosted here, including the UN Climate Change Conference UK 2021.

Your event is sure to be a success at the SEC, especially with the help of a large, experienced in-house team and a world-class catering offering.

Event Spaces
