Learning in progress!

We were delighted to host the for their 13th International Conference with over a hundred students and facilitators, all choosing to dedicate this weekend to learning about various neuro specialties! 🧠

There were lots of hands-on workshops which allowed students to try their hand at using different equipment and broadening their knowledge.

Everyone enjoyed a lovely lunch, and lots of coffee and biscuits fuelled this brilliant conference ☕️

At 1599, we believe responsibility is more than a principle. It is a way of working.

Our Conference and Events Manager, Fiona Hainey, put it beautifully when she said:

“At 1599, I see Green Tourism as more than an award. It is about responsibility in every decision we make.”

This perspective goes beyond sustainability. It is about asking bigger questions.

How can we host events that create not only memories but lasting impact?

How can we connect people while also strengthening our community?

How can we honour the legacy of this historic space while ensuring it remains relevant for the future?

Every event we deliver is shaped by these choices. Responsibility is not a checklist. It is the foundation of how we operate and the promise we make to every guest who walks through our
doors.

Events are never only about what happens on the day. They are opportunities to build relationships, share knowledge, and spark ideas that move us forward.

That is the kind of responsibility worth holding ourselves to.

If walls could speak, 1599 at the Royal College would tell a story that stretches back centuries.

A story of learning, discovery, tradition, and the people who have walked these halls before us.

Today, those same walls witness new beginnings — weddings, graduations, conferences, and celebrations that become part of the building’s living history.

We’re thankful to Signature Wedding Events, Stark Management Agency, and Lewis Cannon Photography for helping us show 1599 at its best — wedding-ready, timeless, and full of stories still to come.
