event management

SDC organises a variety of national conferences, seminars and workshops across the range of work with which we are involved. As an organisation, we use innovative event formats and activities to promote our work and commissions we have undertaken for clients.

We can also offer a complete events organisation and management service . This can include partnership research, scientific and development support as well as comprehensive administrative services, including:

• Event planning, budgeting and financial management
• Promotion and marketing
• Booking and customer service
• Facilitation
• Collation, publication and distribution of reports

Our conferences bring together people from a variety of backgrounds, according to the needs of the event or client. SDC is committed to including the perspective of people with lived experience of mental ill-health, as well as promoting the participation of other excluded stakeholders. We encourage all partners to promote methods to ensure the physical, economic, cultural and geographical accessibility of events.

Case Study:

SIREN annual conferences

In 2006, SDC, in partnership with SIREN (the Scottish Suicide Information, Research and Evidence Network) co-ordinated and facilitated the management of the hugely successful inaugral SIREN annual conference.

At the request of the SIREN Steering Group, SDC provided the same function for the 2007 and 2008 conferences.
