In 2025, the Scottish Event Campus marks 40 years at the heart of Glasgow’s cultural and economic story — a milestone not just for us, but for the city and country we’re proud to call home. What began in 1985 as the bold ambition of a single venue has evolved into a world-class campus that’s welcomed millions, hosted icons, and helped shape Scotland’s global reputation.

 

From live music legends to life sciences summits, comic cons to climate conferences, the SEC has never stood still. This year, we’re marking the moment with SEC40 — a campaign of stories, snapshots, and standout moments that honours our past while looking squarely ahead.
We’ll spotlight the people, the partnerships, and the possibilities that have made the SEC what it is — and what it’s still to become. Because while the anniversary invites reflection, our focus is firmly on the future: net zero goals, fresh investment, global reach, and unforgettable experiences still to come.
This is more than a birthday. It’s a thank you to Glasgow, to Scotland, and to everyone who’s been part of the journey. Join us as we celebrate where we’ve been — and where we’re going.
