"A great deal of work has gone on behind the scenes with e-conference providers and software developers across the globe, and I am excited about this upcoming event.

"While the coronavirus pandemic has brought a necessary pause to life as it was, it also provides a moment, a unique and unprecedented one, to reimagine our world and the possibilities it offers our nation.

"Conference is our opportunity to meet and discuss our vision - and to restate our commitment to delivering an independent Scotland and endeavour as a party to always put Scotland’s best interests at heart."
