Scotiacon 2014 7th - 9th November 2014
11 years ago
We know those who have attended Scotiacon in previous years wanted to know what was happening in 2014. Well now we can reveal things to you.
Scotiacon is moving to November for a few reasons. It gives us a much better price to you for hotel accommodation and the summer was simply getting too crowded with events to go to so we will be thought it would be best to solve both those things in one go. This was raised to us at the feedback sessions and it gives us an ideal chance to build on our previous successful years.
That is not the only change though, we are regretfully leaving Inverness. The city has been fantastic for us and allowed us to become established as an event, but good things can't last and we were getting a bit tight on event space. We will be moving to the Mercure Livingston which is about twenty minutes outside of Edinburgh. The hotel features include a full set of event rooms, open bar area and fireplace with a real fire (no singed tails please), a swimming pool and gym area and more than a hundred bedrooms. The hotel offers free parking, free wifi to guests (with faster options at a charge) and easy access from road, rail and bus.

We will be announcing our guests, theme and registration date shortly.
Now onto the important details of pricing:
Con fees:
Attendee: £65.00
Attendee with Eat Scotland event: £70.00
Sponsor: £105
Sponsors will get free entry into the Eat Scotland event and other surprises and treats. The Eat Scotland event is a food tasting event that samples different Scottish foods each year. Whilst it is possible to book this at the convention itself, spaces are limited as the hotel has to get the food bought in and prepared for us. So buying ES with the attendee membership guarantees a place. There will be an additional charge to standard attendees that wish to upgrade at the con which will be more than £5.
Rooms:
Single room per night: £70.00
Double and twin rooms per night: £80.00
All prices include breakfast in the hotel. So that means to share a room is £40.00 per person per night. To book a hotel room you must call the events team at the hotel to book giving Scotiacon as your booking reference. The hotel are working to provide an online booking discount code, but this depends on their headquarters setting it up.
