We are delighted to invite you to attend our Annual Glasgow Conference which will take place on Friday 28th June at the Hilton Hotel, Glasgow from 1pm until 5.00pm.

Under the Law Society of Scotland's Guidelines, delegates may claim 3 hours of CPD time. The conference is open to all solicitors, in-house lawyers, trainees and paralegals.

Compass prides itself on being innovative and, with this in mind, we will be using the CrowdCompass event app at the Conference this year. The app aims to give delegates a more integrated and interactive experience. You will be able to view the Conference schedule on the app as well as see details of all the speakers and sessions. You will be able to access handouts from the talks, make notes, leave feedback as well as interacting on social media.

To ensure we can continue to improve the conference year on year we have decided to introduce an admission fee of £35 per delegate. We believe this to be a reasonable charge that will not only help to continue the improvement to the Conference in the years ahead, but will also substantially raise the contribution to our annual charity, as £12 from each admission fee will be donated to charity. Our nominated charity this year is the Edinburgh Food Project.

The topics and speakers at the Conference will be as follows -

Civil Programme

FAI Update: 2 years on from the new Act – Emma Toner

Sun, Sea and San Miguel – Foreign Travel Claims – Calum Wilson

Industrial Disease Update - Geoff Clarke QC

The Limitation (Childhood Abuse)(Scotland) Act 2017 – David Sheldon QC

Health and Safety Sentencing Update - Peter Gray QC

The event will continue with a drinks reception from 5.00pm, to which all attendees of the Conference are invited.
