Friday, really?

This year book your travel to include a night in Glasgow. Why?

Yes the UK’s new annual tech, people, growth laser expo will be on a Friday (this year only)

So we have to make you all most welcome and will finish with a ‘beach party’, in honour of our special cluster spotlight on Torbay. 4 to 6pm.

But what about the party-after-party? 

Glasgow is the place to be every Friday, so why not stay over and see some of the city.
