We’d love to invite you to showcase your volunteer programme at our conference on 4 February 2026 at Edinburgh Zoo by submitting a digital poster. This year’s conference explores how co-creation and collaboration can transform volunteering across the heritage sector and beyond.

This is a great opportunity to highlight your volunteer programme and achievements to other volunteer-involving organisations, as well as funders and policymakers who will be in attendance.

There will be digital posters on a constant loop throughout the day on large screens situated in the atrium in the Education Centre at Edinburgh Zoo. This is the space where delegates will be networking and enjoying refreshments. You don’t need to be able to attend in-person or online to submit a poster (though of course we’d love for you to join us on the day, and tickets are free!).
