Notes from Tech Show London …
Events like this are a useful way to take the temperature of the technology industry.
Themes shaping the agenda into 2026 are broadly the same ones that drove 2025:
• AI moving from experimentation into operational use
• data platforms becoming the foundation for making AI useful
• cloud infrastructure expanding to support AI-scale workloads
• cybersecurity shifting into a resilience and governance issue
• trust and accountability starting to sit alongside capability
What feels different this year is the focus of the conversation.
On the floor ‘live’ from Tech Show London
The technology is no longer the main question. Most organisations are already experimenting with it.
The real challenge is organisational – how companies adapt workflows, decision-making and leadership so these tools actually deliver results.
Technology adoption is rarely the difficult part. Aligning people, incentives and communication around real outcomes usually is.
That’s where digital transformation actually happens – how organisations change the way they work?
