MLA at the BCO Conference
MLA Silver Sponsors of the BCO Conference
On the 17th and 18th of June, the British Council for Offices Conference for 2026 was in Edinburgh and Glasgow. ‘The Festival of Enlightenment’ was a packed programme of networking, site visits, building tours, talks and workshops.
With the aim of inspiring, challenging and connecting delegates, the conference featured the brightest minds in the office sector.
We’re proud that some of those ‘bright minds’ were MLA colleagues!
They were leading tours, hosting workshops and, in the case of our CEO, Tim Griffin, cycling all the way from Aviemore to Edinburgh for the conference’s charity bike ride!
Cyclists complete their challenge in Edinburgh
