Each year, the Club holds two conferences:

  • The Scottish Birdwatchers' Conference, held each spring in partnership with BTO Scotland and hosted by one of the SOC's local branches.
  • The Annual Conference & AGM, our flagship event, held each autumn.

Details of how to attend can be found on our Events page when bookings are live.

Conference talk summaries have traditionally been published in a subsequent issue of our quarterly journal Scottish Birds - back issues can be accessed here.

From the 2026 Scottish Birdwatchers' Conference onwards, write-ups are now available to view on our website. Use the links below to find out more about each presentation.
