Summits

Blockchain Scotland runs Scotland's leading blockchain summits. We bring together practitioners, policymakers, innovators, and investors to share knowledge and build the ecosystem.

Edinburgh Digital Finance Summit

14-15 Sep 2027

Blockchain Scotland's two annual summits come together in 2027 as a single two-day event at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. Day one, Tokenisation Day, covers tokenisation, digital assets and regulation for finance professionals and is deliberately non-technical. Day two, Innovation Day, covers DeFi, autonomous and agentic finance and AI, with sessions led by the people building the technology. Delegates can attend either day or both.
