SWA Connex Conference moves to Òran Mór

Following the recent fire on Union Street in Glasgow, the planned venue for this year's SWA Connex Conference,  voco Grand Central Hotel, have announced that they will not re-open in time to host the event.

To ensure that the conference can still go ahead, the SWA team is pleased to confirm that a new venue has been found, and that: 

• The conference will proceed on 28 May as planned
• The new venue is the unique and stunning Òran Mór, Glasgow
• The event will run as a one-day conference from 9.00am–5.00pm followed by drinks, canapés and networking in the Fonn Mor piano bar, until 6.30pm
• All speakers and planned content are retained
• The revised format of a drinks and canapes reception gives attendees an enhanced opportunity to network and engage with the wholesale channel, without the formal dinner and potential overnight stay

If you have not yet secured your place, there is still time to do so. Book your tickets here: Tickets ⇽ SWA Connex Conference 2026 | Scottish Wholesale Association

We appreciate your understanding and continued support, and very much look forward to welcoming delegates, sponsors and exhibitors to Òran Mór for what promises to be an inspiring and engaging SWA Connex Conference.
