Just to give you a flavour of our work, here's some of our recent events:

• “What's Your Story?” The Creative Tourism Conference
  Client: Aim-hi
  March 2006, Dingwall
  This was a groundbreaking opportunity for collaboration between the tourism and creative industries. Supported by Highlands & Islands Enterprise, the event aimed to cultivate the next generation of tourism attractions by building stronger commercial links between Scotland's biggest industry and one of its most dynamic.

  Reaping the benefits of Europe’s special places - Euromontana
  Client: Highlands & Islands Enterprise
  November 2005, Aviemore
  We organised Euromontana’s three-day high profile international seminar. It comprised a series of professionally facilitated discussion sessions, based around case study information and visits. This high level exchange provided an important opportunity for leading members of the international rural policy community to progress knowledge in this field at a time of considerable flux in rural policy development.
