In place of our usual annual gathering, in August 2020 ScotPEN held a programme of online activities across August to help members consider the opportunities and limitations of engaging online.
Not meeting face to face means we miss out on the unexpected useful encounters that make for good networking. Our solution was to have peer networking sessions, matching delegates (somewhat randomly) with one or two others to meet on-line over a coffee. We have held a fun science cocktail based social event planned at the end, which was enjoyed by all who attended.
