Navigate Now & Next Scotland

The pace of digital and technological change has never been greater, bringing with it extraordinary opportunities to drive growth, build brands, and deliver exceptional customer experiences. But with constant innovation comes complexity, and the biggest challenge for marketing leaders today is knowing how to cut through it.

That’s why Navigate: Now & Next is back for its 13th edition in Scotland. 


Technology and digital trends for marketers who mean business.

Great marketers need insight and foresight. They need to know what’s happening now and what’s coming next. We curate and collate that in one unmissable day.

Navigate: Now & Next gives marketers actionable inspiration, a clear understanding of what you need to know and do now, and how to anticipate and prepare for what’s coming next. Through practical conversations, we bring together Change Leaders, industry experts, and the people shaping marketing’s digital and technological evolution whilst redefining business, brand growth, and customer experience.

Connect with like-minded professionals, exchange ideas, and leave with practical takeaways you can apply immediately. Don’t just keep up; lead the way.

Did you notice the name change?

We’ve renamed Digital Day to Navigate: Now & Next because the original name no longer reflects what this event has become. Digital Day suggested a focus purely on digital channels and tactics, but this event has always been about much more than that. Navigate: Now & Next better captures our focus on technology and digital trends in their broadest sense, from AI and data to emerging platforms and technological transformation. It’s about helping marketers navigate the now and the next of technology to drive business impact, for marketers who mean business.
