MSI members gather in Edinburgh for EMEA Regional Conference

MSI held its EMEA Regional Conference in Edinburgh, Scotland from 7 - 9 May 2026, bringing together over 160 delegates from 71 firms across 35 countries under the them 'Beyond Borders. Beyond Today'.

The conference programme was packed with sessions for discussion and exchange. The keynotes were certainly a highlight featuring an engaging economic update from James Pomery of HSBC and an inspiring talk by record-breaking mountaineer Bonita Norris on resilience, mindset and purpose.

An interactive cyber security workshop got everyone in the room involved, challenging delegates to work in teams to respond to a simulated attack. Separate sessions for lawyers and accountants explored the impact of technology and business development opportunities. Dedicated Specialist Interest Group meetings gave delegates the chance to exchange insights with colleagues in their practice area.

The conference concluded with dinner at Dynamic Earth, one of Edinburgh's most striking venues.

We would like to thank our local host firm Armstrong Watson for their warm welcome to Edinburgh and their generous delegate gifts. A big thank you also to all delegates, speakers and organisers who made the conference such a memorable event.
