Delegates are issued with a pass which gains them access to festival shows which feature either Scottish artists, or artists from our international partnering nation. Showcase Scotland offers a ‘Spotlight’ on one international partner each year – in 2013 this will be England.
First time delegates are encouraged to arrive on the 30th when an early bird reception and first time delegates briefing take place.
