The Scottish Business Hoedown
Thursday 5th March 2026 | Maggies Rock n Rodeo, Glasgow
Where strategy meets good vibes, and business stops feeling so damn serious.
If you’ve been craving a day that gets you out of your head and into action, this is your invitation to step into a room full of energy, momentum, and people who get it.
The Scottish Business Hoedown is a full day of implementation, breakthroughs, and fun. Because honestly, why should building your business feel dull?
Neurodivergent Friendly & Accessibility-Led
This event is intentionally designed to support neurodivergent attendees and a wide range of access needs.
We provide a quiet break-out space for rest, regulation, or time away from the main room at any point during the day. There is no expectation to sit still or stay seated — moving, standing, stepping out, or taking breaks is actively encouraged.
You’ll receive an ADHD-friendly workbook, designed to be easy to follow throughout the event, alongside a digital version so you can engage in the way that works best for you. We also provide colouring materials and fidget tools to support focus and regulation.
Implementation expectations vary, and everything offered during the event is optional. You’re invited to take what’s useful and leave what isn’t — there’s no pressure to do or absorb everything in the moment.
All talks are supported with live captions displayed on the projector as speakers present.
Ear defenders and ear plugs are available on request.
Most importantly, we’re committed to meeting people where they are. If there’s something you need to feel supported, regulated, or comfortable on the day, we’ll do our best to make that accessible for you 🤍
What to Expect
We’re kicking things off with three powerhouse sessions designed to move the needle in the areas that matter most:
- Sales - Build confidence, clarity, and momentum so selling feels natural instead of nerve-wracking.
- Marketing - Get practical strategies that fit YOU, not some one-size-fits-all formula.
- Balance - Create a business rhythm that supports your real life, not drains it.
Every part of the day is crafted to put you and your goals front and centre. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just spacious, guided implementation and the support you’ve been craving.

What Everyone's Saying
"There was something genuinely different about this event. Inclusive, accessible, and full of heart. You could feel it in the room. The speaker lineup was phenomenal. Each one sharing wisdom and honesty that left everyone buzzing with clarity and motivation. I left feeling inspired, grounded and deeply grateful. It reminded me that when you put passionate people in a space built on connection and inclusivity, transformation happens".
"I honestly feel so lucky to have been at the first ever Scottish Business Carnival, hosted by the brilliant Lauren Robinson. Every single talk was packed with value, but really, the people were the best part. There's something so special about being in a space that had clearly been built to be accessible, inclusive, and diverse - it felt completely different, in the best way."
I met with Lauren to discuss creating additional revenue streams around Adventures in Marketing, the annual event for online business owners that I co-host in Edinburgh every February. Lauren was full of fresh ideas and ways to improve the event, both financially and in other ways too, such as ideas to make it even more inclusive. We’ll be implementing all of her ideas at the next event and for years to come. I highly recommend Lauren for smart, strategic event support. Implement her suggestions and you’ll make back your investment before your next event even starts!
