Artificial Intelligence dominates the headlines – but what\u2019s happening\u00a0beyond the hype<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Join us in 2026 for a forward-looking member event focused on\u00a0real innovation and genuine transformation in business software<\/strong>. This event will cut through the noise to explore how organisations are using technology in practical, measurable ways to drive efficiency, growth and competitive advantage.<\/p>\n

Our event will also take place shortly after the publication of HMRC\u2019s new strategy<\/strong>, giving members a timely opportunity to hear directly from HMRC on its priorities, direction and implications for the software development industry. This event will provide valuable insights into what the strategy means in practice and how our industry should be preparing for what comes next.<\/p>\n

Designed specifically for the business software developer community, this event will bring together\u00a0industry leaders, practitioners and technology experts<\/strong>\u00a0to share insights, case studies and perspectives on what\u2019s working today and what\u2019s coming next. Expect thoughtful discussion, honest debate and actionable takeaways you can apply within your own organisation.<\/p>\n

Our Keynote Speaker is JP Marks, First Permanent Secretary and Chief Executive, HMRC.\u00a0<\/strong>Additional confirmed speakers include Tom Skalycz, Chief Technology Officer, HMRC with more announcements to follow shortly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Summit will focus on:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Moving beyond AI buzzwords to real business outcomes<\/li>\n
  • How modern business software is transforming operations, decision-making, and customer experience<\/li>\n
  • Lessons learned from successful (and challenging) transformation journeys<\/li>\n
  • What innovation leaders should be prioritising now for 2026 and beyond<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This is an opportunity to\u00a0connect with peers<\/strong>, gain fresh insight, and help shape the future direction of business software within your sector.<\/p>\n

    BASDA has taken onboard member feedback and this flagship event incorporates the topics that are key to members’ businesses in both the near and medium term \u2013 providing access to speakers and panellists along with valuable networking with peers during and after the main event.<\/p>\n

    Tom Skalycz, Chief Technology Officer, HM Revenue and Customs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    With one of the largest IT estates in the UK, even Europe, HMRC\u2019s CTO, Tom Skalycz, provides an exclusive insight into their technical strategy leading into the next decade and beyond, and how this is evolving to meet all their tax duties and accompanying transformation, including the OECD\u2019s Tax Admin 3.0.<\/p>\n

    This session will explore both the external interfacing developmental plans \u2013 critical to the provision of our members’ services – along with the internal transitions to strategic platforms, architecture and how these provide the potential for far greater data federation and exchange plus informing how we may need to pivot services to optimise these platforms and further stimulate our collective innovation agendas.<\/p>\n

    Tom will also touch on new ways of working within HMRC that will positively change HOW<\/strong> this strategy is getting delivered.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Interactive Session: S<\/em>haping Software Standards<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Join an early-stage conversation with HMRC post the launch of their software strategic approach \u2013 which BASDA and a number of our members have been key contributors to \u2013 in order to help shape their resultant set of software standards, which will be pivotal to our industry\u2019s commercial and technical success.<\/p>\n

    Together with a set of key policy principles, these standards aim to ensure a thriving, quality, innovative, equitable and competitive business software landscape, serving the entire ecosystem.<\/p>\n

    This interactive session is\u00a0your opportunity<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Explore priority areas for developers<\/li>\n
    • Identify\u00a0barriers and key enablers to adoption<\/li>\n
    • Contribute to the design of practical, industry-aligned standards<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Led by Chris Simons, Deputy Director, Intermediaries at HMRC<\/strong> and BASDA CEO, Kevin Hart<\/strong>, this session will be a great opportunity to help shape how these standards will be developed and implemented.<\/p>\n

      Crucially, it is also your opportunity to help define not just what good looks like, but critically, what doesn\u2019t – along with ensuring that we have clarity on\u00a0expectations, oversight and appropriate enforcement.<\/p>\n

      Have your say. Collaborate. Build upon last year\u2019s Summit to help shape a \u2018thriving\u2019 business software future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        ‘ My observation is more about the way that BASDA came across on the day….I’ve been attending the Annual Summit for a number of years, there’s no doubt in my mind that in the last couple of years BASDA is showing a growing confidence in itself. This growth reflects well on the organisation and, more importantly, elevates the status of the Association in the eyes the external attendees.’ ‘The talks assisted us in future business strategic planning and the event was a great way to network with other software providers that face similar issues to ourselves.’ ‘ Really varied bunch of topics. Learned about lots of areas I wasn’t familiar with before.’ ‘ The summit educated me and demonstrated that by attending I would be better placed to service my clients in the future.’ [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/ai-transformation-harnessing-the-future-of-business-innovation-tickets-995891065987″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Book Your Place” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Book here Button” _builder_version=”4.27.3″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_bg_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0)” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_use_icon=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#25225f” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_border_color__hover=”#25225f” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”0″ button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”rgba(255,255,255,0.5)” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ background_color=”#e8e8e8″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” max_width=”1080px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.5″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
