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.

Each event will feature a ScotlandIS member offering their expert insights and advice on the topic in hand, however you do not need to be a member to attend these talks.
For this extra webinar in February to mark Cyber Scotland Week 2026, we’ll be joined by guest speaker Debra Cairns, Managing Director of Net-Defence.
Over the past two to three years, supply chain (SC) risk has shifted from an emerging to current risk.
Supply chain risk encompasses a wide range of factors, including economic uncertainty, political instability, natural disasters, and supplier failures. However, today we will be exploring one pressing threat: cyber risk within your supply chain.
An attack on your supply chain can cause significant impact to your ability to operate if they are unable to provide products, systems, and services. Equally as damaging is a cybercriminal launching a cyberattack against you through your supply chain.
Identifying these risks can be challenging, as supply chains are often large, complex, and interconnected. Threats can emerge at any point and take many forms, whether they are inherent, introduced, or exploited by cybercriminals looking for vulnerabilities.

- What is Supply Chain Risk & Types of Risk (Inherent/Introduced/Exploited)
- Exploited Risk
- Human Risk
- Role of email
