Join The Scottish Shutter Company at their state-of-the-art Dundee Design Studio for an immersive workshop dedicated to modern window shading solutions, home automation, and energy-efficient living. Designed specifically for homeowners undergoing renovations, interior architects, and property developers, this workshop offers an unhurried, expert-led environment to explore the latest technology in window styling. Attendees will gain exclusive access to full-sized working displays of premium timber shutters, automated honeycomb blinds, and motorized outdoor awnings while receiving direct technical guidance from Scotland’s leading industry specialists. Throughout the workshop, participants will learn how smart shading can drastically reduce household heating costs, improve home security, and seamlessly integrate into modern smart home ecosystems. Our technical specialists will demonstrate live automated scene-setting through power-managed mobile applications, highlighting how light control, acoustics, and privacy can be completely transformed with intelligent engineering. Whether you are planning a self-build project or looking to upgrade your existing residential property, this workshop provides actionable insights to bridge the gap between aesthetic interior styling and practical technical execution. Interactive Demonstrations & Energy Efficiency Insights The interactive session begins with a deep dive into thermal efficiency and light control. Participants will discover how advanced cellular honeycomb construction traps air to insulate living spaces, keeping homes warm during winter months and cool throughout the summer. Attendees will also get hands-on experience operating full-sized Luxaflex PowerView systems, custom gable blinds, and external shading models. By seeing and manipulating these systems at scale—rather than looking at standard small fabric samples—guests can truly appreciate how precision-engineered shading operates on actual window frames. In addition to technical product walk-throughs, the workshop covers architectural concealment solutions, such as hidden blind boxes designed for seamless wall integration during early construction phases. Attendees will discover how to prepare electrical wiring and recess channels prior to plastering, avoiding costly retrofitting later on. The session concludes with a focused panel discussion on custom shapes, conservatory solutions, and privacy management for street-facing Scottish properties. Personalized Consultations & Expert Advice The final leg of the event is dedicated to personalized project support. Attendees can sit down one-on-one with senior shading consultants to review floor plans, elevation drawings, and architectural blueprints. These individual break-out sessions provide non-pressured, honest advice tailored to the exact specifications of your windows and budget constraints. The Scottish Shutter Company prides itself on providing impartial guidance with zero high-pressure sales tactics, ensuring you leave with complete clarity on your window treatment journey. Complimentary artisan coffees, teas, and local Scottish refreshments will be provided throughout the day. Places for this event are strictly limited to ensure an intimate, high-quality learning environment for all participants. Reserve your space today to secure expert advice, tour the Dundee Design Studio, and take the first step toward transforming your living environment.

The Critical Studies in Television Conference 2026 arrives at a pivotal moment for the global media landscape. Hosted in the vibrant cultural hub of Manchester, this premier international gathering brings together scholars, practitioners, and industry critics to dissect the "feeling of crisis" currently enveloping the medium of television. From the shift from Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) to Public Service Media (PSM) to the radical restructuring of funding and delivery models via online streaming, the conference provides a rigorous academic platform to explore how television functions during periods of social and institutional upheaval. This year’s theme specifically interrogates television’s dual role: as a witness to crisis—historically and in real-time—and as an industry facing its own existential transformations. Attendees will engage with deep-dive sessions on the representation of economic and climate-related crises, the ethics of researching precarious media workers, and the cultural significance of television in shaping a national "structure of feeling." The event serves as the physical manifestation of the renowned Critical Studies in Television journal published by Sage, moving beyond the printed page to foster live debate on the aesthetics, politics, and future of the small screen. Beyond the theoretical, the conference emphasizes the practical realities of production downturns and the loss of mass audiences. It offers a unique intersection for North West England's thriving media sector—including nearby MediaCityUK—and global academic discourse. Participants can expect a series of high-level keynote addresses, lightning talks on the impact of AI in screen production, and workshops focused on television archives and pedagogical innovation. Whether you are analyzing the latest streaming trends or the historical impact of television blackouts, this conference provides the critical tools to understand television not just as a box in the corner, but as a central nervous system of modern society.
