About this Event
Scotland's demographic challenge is real—our ageing population demands a strategic approach to sustaining economic growth. Skilled migrants are vital, but the UK Government's high-wage visa thresholds make retaining talent increasingly difficult. Now, more than ever, it's crucial to invest in talent pipelines that will fortify Scotland's growth and resilience.
But where challenges exist, so do opportunities. Now is the time to invest in talent pipelines that will strengthen Scotland's growth and resilience. Building on the success of the Scottish Black Talent Summit in 2022 and 2023, the Scottish Ethnic Minority Talent Summit and Festival (SEMTSF) 2024 is expanding into a 5-day event from 28 October to 2 November. This year, we’re bringing fresh perspectives and deeper insights to foster a more inclusive future.
- Fringe Events - 28 October - 30 October (Across Scotland)
- Summit - 31 October (Tyncastle Park, McLoed Street, Edinburgh)
- Festival - 2 November (BoxHub Warehouse, Glasgow)
The Summit is a talent-driven event that unites local employers, academicians, corporate organisations, non-profits, and government agencies to share ideas and best practices for building and managing a thriving multi-cultural workforce in Scotland.
Expect thought-provoking panel discussions, keynote speeches from industry leaders, and interactive roundtable sessions that will equip you with the tools and strategies needed to navigate today’s complex work environment.
Key topics include:
- The Role of Allyship in the Workplace
- The Future of Scotland’s Workforce
- Conflict Resolution in Diverse Teams
- Inclusive & Responsible AI Recruitment Practices
- Cultural Intelligence in Leadership
