Holyrood Connect’s annual Digital Transformation event for the Scottish public sector is returning to Edinburgh for another year.

This conference will be a premier opportunity for delegates to reflect on where Scotland’s public sector is on its transformation journey.

Through a variety of session formats, including keynote addresses, panel discussions and interactive masterclasses, the event will provide real-life examples of digital transformation within the public sector for you to learn from.

This year’s agenda will delve into crucial topics, including:

• The future of Scotland’s public services
• Overcoming existing challenges
• The importance of AI, regulation and transparency
• Infrastructure and Procurement
• Digital Inclusion

The conference will also feature an exhibition and networking area, providing a platform for you to connect with peers, and explore relevant solutions to help your organisation on its digital transformation journey.

Join us at Smart Hub Lanarkshire for a free, informative event designed for businesses interested in understanding the evolving world of Industry 4.0 and smart technologies.

Whether you’re just starting your digital journey or looking to strengthen your cyber defences, this session will provide valuable insights in an accessible and practical way. Discover how emerging technologies are reshaping modern manufacturing, with a special focus on cyber awareness and protection.

The event features a straightforward introduction to cyber security from a manufacturing perspective, including a live demonstration of Siemens’ Industry 4.0 Security Gateway (S615) – a powerful tool for safeguarding your operations.

You’ll also experience hands-on demonstrations of a smart factory setup and collaborative robotics (Cobots) in action. No prior knowledge required – just bring your curiosity and get ready to explore the future of manufacturing.

The majority of crimes today have a digital footprint and technology both enables crimes to occur and for law enforcement to work, creating an ever changing and more complex relationship between the two in a race for one to always be at least two steps ahead of the other.  

Fast moving digital technology has helped create a new genre of criminals who are educated, tech savvy and can sell their skills for nefarious purposes. The ever-growing issue of serious and organised crime depends on sophisticated technology linking a variety of criminal activities, including child sexual abuse and exploitation, people trafficking, and drug smuggling, making the perpetrators harder to trace. 

The increasing use of AI by criminal gangs makes detection ever harder and as a criminal tool, AI can be used for purposes like intimation, humiliation, and harassment. Criminals will use AI tools like ChatGPT for writing assistance, allowing inexperienced writers to craft effective marketing messages that lure in potential victims of so-called romance fraud and can also be responsible for encouraging murderous acts and radicalisation.  

For the law enforcers too, AI can become a powerful tool in predictive policing and assist in forensic data analysis and testing the parameters of privacy and data protection.  

The borderless nature of technology-driven crime also creates new practical and legislative obstacles for those tasked with law enforcement and how they collaborate in the name of justice.  

This annual Holyrood ‘Law Enforcement in a Digital Age’ event builds on what we learnt from the inaugural event shaped around last year’s INTERPOL General Assembly and will explore the main issues that digital technology brings to both enabling crime and fighting it. 

Join leading voices from government, enterprise, and energy as we explore how blockchain is transforming financial services, public sector infrastructure, and green energy in Scotland.

The Scottish Blockchain Summit brings together thought leaders, policymakers, and innovators for a high-impact, one-day experience. This complimentary event will explore how blockchain is reshaping finance, enabling transparent public services, and accelerating Scotland’s green transition.

Backed by the Scotland Blockchain & Digital Trust Taskforce (SBDTT) and produced by the team behind the London Blockchain Conference, this summit shines a spotlight on local success stories and global breakthroughs — all with Scotland’s innovation agenda in mind.
