Our events & Insights… 

Our events programme provides the ideal opportunity for executives, non-executives and intermediaries from the Scottish market to expand their networks with likeminded people, share insights on important topics impacting business, and drive important initiatives that affect the communities in which we all live.

Empowering our Business Community

At Livingston James we actively manage our network through our high-quality events programme, encouraging debate and stimulating discussion across the business community of Scotland.

We run interactive roundtable events, sponsor flagship conferences, and host ‘meet-ups’ inviting high profile business leaders from a range of sectors and organisations to share their experiences and insights of the ever-changing business landscape.

Our regular events programme includes:

  • No Diversity, No Deal (aimed at inspiring the collective to empower female leaders/founders)
  • Future CEO Forum (aimed at supporting leaders navigate the complexity of what the future brings)
  • Non-Executive Director Forum (aimed at building a community for aspirant and current NEDs to connect, share insights and learn)
  • CFO Forum (exclusive events aimed at the finance leaders of Scotland who have aspirations to evolve into CEOs)
  • Tech Talks (aimed at inspiring the next generation of technology professionals)
  • Connecting Industries Series (created to shine a light on the importance of sharing innovations across industries to drive positive change)
