The wait is over—The Scottish Aesthetic Conference is back for its fourth consecutive year, and it’s bigger, bolder, and more innovative than ever before.
Taking place on Saturday 21st March 2026 at the Hilton Glasgow, this year’s event will once again unite the very best in the field of medical aesthetics for a day of education, inspiration, and collaboration.
Organised by Inspired Cosmetic Training, Scotland’s leading provider of medical aesthetics education, the conference has become the largest event of its kind in Scotland, bringing together professionals, leading brands and expert educators under one roof.
Our Story So Far

This year the conference will welcome Clinic Managers and staff to attend the Business Track running alongside the main conference!
The conference’s vision has remained clear—to promote ethical practice, elevate standards and foster a trusted and connected community within Scotland’s aesthetics industry.

In 2025, more than 200 delegates from across Scotland gathered for an inspiring and action-packed day. Attendees enjoyed a packed agenda of expert presentations, eight specialist breakout sessions and a vibrant exhibition hall featuring over 40 leading product and service providers.
Keynote speakers included Dr Nestor Demosthenous, Professor Mark Birch-Machin, Frances Turner Traill ,Dr Ioannis Liakas, Dr MJ Rowland-Warmann, Dr Amrit Thiara, Dr Melanie Gray, Stuart McMillan MSP and many others, who covered topics ranging from exosomes and non-surgical rhinoplasty to complications management, menopause, and business growth strategies.
2025 also marked the launch of the Aesthetic Entrepreneur’s Den—the first of its kind in the UK. This exciting new feature gave emerging entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their business ideas to an expert judging panel for two major prizes:

The £1,500 Start-Up Aesthetic Launchpad, sponsored by Hamilton Fraser, the conference’s Official Insurance Partner.
-
The £5,000 Aesthetic Growth Accelerator Prize, sponsored by Inspired Cosmetic Training, which also included media coverage and a speaking opportunity at this year’s event.
