Bringing together place brand and marketing leadership teams from across the UK

Join us for this two-day event to take away ideas and inspiration not only from Glasgow’s story, but from the expertise and experience of place brand and marketing leaders from across the UK.

  • Network with us at a Civic Reception hosted in the magnificent Glasgow City Chambers

  • Join us on day two for a full day of presentations, panel discussions, and round table collaboration designed to provide a breadth of ideas to help you shape your own collaborative, place-led approach to building and managing place reputation and growth - find out more

“We are delighted to be the first Scottish city to host City Nation Place UK in what will be a big year for Glasgow as we celebrate our 850th birthday. The event will be an opportunity to reflect on how the city has and is transforming and how we can inspire accelerated change, for a better, sustainable, future, over the next fifty years. 

Delegates will observe first-hand how culture, economic development and inward investment are combining to form a dynamic economy, embracing emerging challenges and opportunities ahead. We look forward to hosting place marketing professionals from across the country to meet and learn from each other, demonstrating Glasgow’s world-famous hospitality and creating memorable experiences that showcase our city as one with creativity and innovation running through its veins.”

Councillor Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council

"Glasgow is known internationally for its world-class cultural and sporting attractions and events, as well as its sustainability credentials, all of which make it a great setting for the 2025 City Nation Place conference. Our city is renowned as a first-choice destination for major brands and worldwide event organisers, and a place which attracts visitors from near and far all year round.

 We look forward to partnering with City Nation Place and welcoming global place branding leaders to Glasgow Royal Concert Hall to share ideas, learn from each other and work together to build more successful place economies around the world."
