The Scottish North American Community Conference (SNACC) 2026 will be hosted in Alexandria, VA on the December 4th 2026, both online and in person. Now it its 24th year, the conference, which is hosted annually, brings together the Scottish American diaspora community for a collaboration of experience and knowledge.
The day will bring together leaders, experts, organizations, and emerging voices from the Scottish diaspora and Scotland to center around the theme of: Expanding the Conversation – Collaborating for the Future with a closer look at how Scotland's living traditions, including Gaelic Mòds, piping, dance, athletics, and traditional crafts are adapting to a changing world.
Through conversation, the program explores how greater collaboration, new perspectives, and stronger connections can help shape the future of the global Scottish community. Discussions will consider the next generation of clan leadership, the stewardship and sustainability of clan lands, the role of Scottish universities and alumni, opportunities and challenges for women in Scottish organizations, and the importance of heritage organizations working together.
The conversations will celebrate Scotland’s rich heritage while looking firmly toward the future, expanding the conversation, strengthening collaboration, embracing change, and ensuring Scottish heritage and culture continue to thrive across the global diaspora.
We warming invite you to join the conversation and add your experiences to the collaboration.
We encourage organizations to gather members to act as a hub, joining us online and adding their collective voice to the conversation.
