Spring Networking Glasgow 2026 Review

5th March 2026 | The Exchange, Glasgow

Spring Networking Glasgow 2026 marked another major success in the Commercial Interiors UK events calendar, continuing strong momentum for the year as the second event in the programme, with both events to date selling out.

Held on 5th March at The Exchange in Glasgow, the evening brought together the commercial interiors community for a vibrant mix of insight, networking and celebration. Demand was exceptionally strong, with the event selling out in advance and generating a substantial waiting list, further underlining the appetite for high-quality industry events across Scotland.

Guests arrived from 6.30pm for drinks and networking before taking their seats in The Gallery for the evening’s knowledge-focused talk featuring Dawn Campbell, Managing Director, and Craig McKie, Creative Director of Bell&Swift, hosted by Alys Bryan. Their fast-paced 30-minute conversation explored Glasgow’s hospitality, BTR and PBSA landscape, offering practical insight into renovation, adaptive reuse and the transformation of redundant office spaces into hospitality settings.

The talk was well received, with guests clearly engaged throughout and responding very positively to the themes, insights and honest discussion shared on stage. It set the tone for the rest of the evening, giving attendees not only valuable market insight but also plenty to continue discussing as the event moved back into networking.

Following the talk, guests moved to the Print Room for a second drinks reception, bowl food and continued conversation. This year, the event experience was enhanced even further through the addition of extra space, including an additional room with a dancefloor and access to an outdoor terrace. These added elements brought even more value to the evening, giving guests greater flexibility to network, socialise and enjoy the venue throughout the night.

As the evening progressed, the atmosphere continued to build. Once the DJ began, the event transitioned from professional gathering to lively social occasion, with guests dancing right through to the very end. 

From valuable discussion in the earlier part of the evening to a busy dancefloor at the close, Spring Networking Glasgow 2026 struck the right balance between professional insight and relaxed social connection. It was a memorable evening and another strong example of the value of bringing the industry together in person.
