345: Eat, Meet, Celebrate: What #EventProfs Can Learn from Scotland's Food Culture

In this episode, Tracy chats with Flora Munro, Head of Events, Scotland at 2B UK, live from the IMEX America show floor to explore how Scotland's hospitality, food, and culture create unforgettable event experiences. From castle-sourced venison and hand-dived scallops cooked straight from the sea to whisky tastings (and a spirited debate about haggis and HP "brown" sauce), Flora shares how Scottish culinary traditions are being reimagined for modern meetings and incentives. They also discuss how Scotland leads with inclusion—where accommodating dietary needs is second nature—and sustainability, with menus planned months in advance and ingredients locally sourced to minimize waste and celebrate the land's abundance. Whether you're planning your next incentive trip or dreaming of dining with a view of Edinburgh's Royal Botanic Garden, this episode is a delicious reminder that in Scotland, every meal tells a story—and, as Flora says, "every meal should be devoured."
