The day

Opening keynote
Professor Sue Black on AI ethics: a clear-eyed, honest look at where AI is heading and what it means for organisations like yours.
Plenary panel
Senior leaders from across the sector in frank conversation about navigating digital change in 2026 and beyond.
Three streams, 40-min sessions
Shape your day around the areas most relevant to where your organisation is right now. Longer sessions than ever before.
Exhibition and demo zone
Whether you are actively evaluating technology or want to understand what's out there before you start, the exhibition is open throughout the day.
The Innovation Hub
TechSmart's interactive ideas and networking space. Four zones open throughout the day: Think, Solve, Explore, and Connect.
Drinks reception from 5.15pm
Meet peers, continue conversations, and raise a glass to what the sector has achieved.

2026: The decisions that define what comes next

Technology is moving faster than most organisations' ability to keep up with it. AI is shifting from experiment to expectation. Boards are asking harder questions. Funding pressures mean the cost of a wrong decision is higher than it's ever been.

The 2026 programme is built around that reality. A day of honest, experience-led conversation about the technology decisions that will shape how your organisation works for years to come. What good looks like, what others have learned the hard way, and how to move forward with greater clarity and confidence, whatever stage you're at.
