Bursary-Funded VIPP Tickets
Supporting Scotland’s public-sector project owners to attend
What the Bursary Fund Provides
The Bursary Fund exists to ensure that public-sector delegates with direct responsibility for net-zero projects can attend the conference without budget barriers.
Eligible public-sector attendees will receive a fully funded VIPP ticket, which includes:
Access to all sessions and presentations
Admission to the Networking Zone
5-star buffet lunch + refreshments
Video On Demand after the event
Inclusion in the post-event delegate list (GDPR-compliant opt-in required)
There is no cost for eligible public-sector delegates.
Why a Bursary Fund Exist
Public-sector teams across Scotland have repeatedly told us that:
Training budgets are extremely limited
Travel and CPD budgets have been significantly reduced
Many project owners are unable to attend external events due to cost constraints
Collaborative sessions like this are essential for sharing best practice and accelerating delivery across Scotland
The bursary ensures that the right people with real projects can be in the room.
How the Model Works
Instead of charging public-sector delegates, the event is supported by a small number of carefully selected private-sector partners whose technologies, innovations or solutions align with the key project themes.
This enables us to:
Fund attendance for qualifying delegates
Curate a relevant programme built around real project challenges
Ensure the highest-quality networking environment for everyone involved
This model has been successfully delivered for more than a decade.
Who Qualifies for a Fully Funded VIPP Ticket?
To qualify, delegates must:
Work for a public-sector, third-sector or not-for-profit organisation
Hold responsibility for net-zero, estates, assets, facilities, housing, transport, sustainability or infrastructure
Be accountable for current or upcoming projects within their role
Agree to share their contact information with other attendees (GDPR-compliant) to support ongoing collaboration
Complete the VIPP application form in full
Private-sector companies cannot register for a VIPP ticket.
Any commercial organisation — regardless of size — must register through the Private-Sector Access page.
We manually review every VIPP application and reserve the right to decline any registrations that do not meet the criteria.
Data Protection (GDPR)
We protect delegate information carefully:
No personal data is shared pre-event.
Only delegates who opt in will appear on the post-event delegate list.
Delegate details are only shared with other registered attendees and official event partners.
No data is ever sold, exported or shared beyond this event ecosystem.
