CommsCamp will return to Glasgow for another CommsCamp Scotland on 3rd April 2025.
CommsCamp brings public sector and third sector comms folk into a room together and lets the magic happen.
Attendees set the agenda, raise the issues they’re facing and then tackle them together. We eat cake until we’re almost sick for great charities. We see fierce baking competitiveness. We have a cathartic giggle together, make new friends, catch up with old pals and raise funds for special causes.
How can I be there?
All tickets have now been snapped up in our three ticket drops.
Please – if you can no longer make the event let us know and surrender your ticket. We always have a long waiting list so we allocate from this rather than swapping to another name to be fair as possible.
Shout-out to our sponsors
Thanks to our sponsors, CommsCamp will always be free for everyone.
You are absolute legends, as quite frankly CommsCamp couldn’t happen without your cash and in-kind generosity.
Platinum sponsor

What’s it all about?
A not for profit unconference for communications/PR professionals working public and third sector organisations.
Free to attend, we follow open space principles – with the agenda set by you. Everyone leaves their job title at the door. Everyone is welcome to give their 30 second pitch for a 45-minute session they’d like to host. This might be a problem you’ve already worked through and want to share learnings on, or an issue you’d like to collaborate to solve.
We have listened to feedback about the pitching process. If you feel it would be good to have the support of a volunteer to help you pitch a session on the day or run a session, please drop a note to Leanne. We will have volunteers on standby at the event to offer this help to anyone who needs it.
No PowerPoints and no lectures!
