After more than 20 years as Scotland’s leading training forum for FOI professionals, Holyrood’s annual Freedom of Information Conference returns to bring together policymakers, regulators, practitioners, and sector leaders to explore the latest developments in FOI policy and practice.
As the FOI landscape continues to evolve, this year’s conference will examine the future of reform, the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in FOI, proactive transparency, and lessons from improving organisational performance.
Through keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, delegates will gain practical insights, hear from leading experts, and share best practice on delivering effective, trusted, and future-ready FOI services.
The event offers a valuable opportunity to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and help shape the future of openness and transparency in Scotland.
