Gala Dinner at Merchant Square

A truly unique experience awaits you at Merchant Square for the IEEE IUS 2019 Gala Dinner – enjoy the vibrant atmosphere whilst indulging in the food of your choice.  Located on Candleriggs in the heart of the Merchant City, Glasgow’s cultural, fashion and food quarter, Merchant Square offers an eclectic selection of restaurants and bars all under one roof!

A move away from the traditional gala dinner, you will be greeted in the centre of the square to enjoy drinks and tray served starters. Delegates can then make a selection of cuisine from Scotland, Europe and beyond and take a seat and one of the restaurants around the square.  Desserts will be tray served  giving delegates the opportunity once again to network and chat to colleagues.

A ceilidh will ensure this is a truly Scottish experience, so don’t forget your dancing shoes!
