Event Details
Giving us his rundown of the Top Ten Tech Trends of 2026 will be former Gartner analyst Richard Marshall, whose expertise covers numerous areas of software development including, mobile, low code, web tools, AI and Blockchain.
While technomaximalists make huge claims of an amazing future, the reality is that all too many things are just broken or at best held together with string and tape. All too often we’re trying to build impossibly huge structures on fragile foundations. Several recent infrastructure failures have shown just how weak our data supply chains truly are.
So if we want to build cool new stuff, we have work to do – and this will determine the key areas of focus for the coming year.
Join us in Edinburgh in January for an eye-opening evening where you will be privy to the latest developments in the industry and the expert predictions for 2026.
A huge thank you to our partners DLA Piper for returning to host us once again.

Event Details
In his address at Holyrood’s Public Sector Data Summit in 2025, Ivan McKee MSP, Minister for Public Finance, urged delegates to place data at the heart of their plans, citing its potential to “deliver better public services, improve lives and strengthen communities”.
Holyrood’s Public Sector Data & AI Summit 2026 will once again provide a vital platform for shared learning, cross-sector collaboration, and fresh thinking.
As Scotland prepares for the next Holyrood election, the strategic use of data and ethical application of AI will play an important role in shaping the policy agenda and delivering better services for communities. This event will focus on how Scotland’s public sector can advance its use of data – responsibly, innovatively, and in ways that build trust and deliver tangible benefits to citizens.
Join us for a day of high-impact keynotes, hands-on case studies, and strategic insights designed to support everyone – from data analysts to chief data officers – as they navigate the complex data challenges and opportunities ahead.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to enjoy an exhibition area and connect with peers during dedicated networking sessions.
This event is free to attend for those working in the public and third sectors. If you work in the private sector, please email sales@holyrood.com to discuss commercial opportunities.
