Event Details
Artificial Intelligence presents Scotland with a significant opportunity for net-positive economic growth. The Scottish Government is developing a new AI Strategy for Scotland to harness this potential and give Scotland’s AI ecosystem the best chance to succeed.
You are invited to an online consultation workshop to help prioritise the most important AI challenges and opportunities for Scotland. This will be a focused workshop, where your perspective will help Scottish Government officials prioritise deliverable elements of the strategy.
The new AI Strategy will build on Scotland’s AI Strategy (2021), retaining its aim to develop a trustworthy, ethical, and inclusive AI ecosystem while addressing barriers to growth, enabling businesses, innovators, and communities to fully benefit from the economic opportunities of AI. Your insights will play a vital role in shaping a strategy that drives sustainable, economic growth and supports a thriving AI ecosystem.

Event Details
Tech Trends is your opportunity to get ahead of the game and discover the key technologies making an appearance in the coming year.
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
Operational Technology is quickly becoming an organisation highest risk point and in 2026 it’s becoming a regulatory consideration too.
Over this four part webinar series we will be joined by guest speakers as we explore what operational and IT convergence really means for all industries, not just manufacturing and CNI; how it will be impacted by the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill and what blueprint all organisations can follow to gain resilience across their environment.
Cyber attacks are increasing year on year, but in most instances their impact is decreasing. Organisational cyber resilience is improving, cyber defences are more accurate and response actions are quicker.
However, as organisations are becoming harder targets, threat actors are needing to explore different avenues to achieve their goal: Cause maximum disruption to gain maximum ransom.
That avenue in 2026? Operational Technology.
In this episode we’ll be covering:
- The definition of Operational Technology (OT) Security and Monitoring
- What convergence with IT really means for OT
- Why full asset visibility is a must have in 2026
- The impact of NIS2 and The Cyber Security Resilience Bill on OT security
- How to gain full visibility without generating thousands of false positives
Guest Speaker:
-
Ed Suhler: Senior OT Cybersecurity SME, Ed works closely with Trinity OT providing Operational Technology (OT) cyber security expertise and services across a wide range of industries including critical infrastructure, energy, water, transportation, shipping and the defence community.
