SOAN organises a range of events from our AGM to conferences and regional training days. Some are organised by SOAN alone, whilst others are a partnership, all designed to give you an opportunity to meet other practitioners and improve your knowledge and skills.
We use Ticket Tailor to manage our event bookings and you can book our next course, when available, directly below.
SOAN 2026 ANNUAL CONFERENCE
Pounding Paths – Valuing and Resourcing Outdoor Access in Scotland Today
What’s the focus?
This year’s SOAN Conference explores different opportunities for funding, looking at how investment into access benefits the economy and users, and how you can learn from what others are doing. We will also look at some of the changes in access and how they are being applied. SCROLL DOWN THIS PAGE TO VIEW THE FULL CONFERENCE PROGRAMME.
You will be asked to select TWO preferred workshops during the booking process, please note that we cannot guarantee your preferred workshop, they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
