Inspired by the legacy of Dr Edward de Bono and Scotland’s enduring tradition of intellectual inquiry, innovation, and transformative ideas, this gathering will bring together leaders, educators, innovators, policymakers, and change-makers from around the world.
This is not simply a conference.
And it is certainly not a memorial.
It is a global relaunch of one of the most influential intellectual legacies of our time.

📅 5–6 October 2026
From Scotland to Malta. From learning to thinking. From legacy to future.
Stay tuned for international partners, distinguished speakers, prestigious awards, and a few surprises along the way.
The future belongs not only to those who know more, but to those who think better.

It was a great pleasure meeting with Baldacchino, CEO of Malta and a distinguished member of the Global Advisory Board of the Stirling Centre for Strategic Learning and Innovation.
Our discussions identified opportunities for academic and industry collaboration, including co-developing new qualifications tailored to the hashtag market and wider regional priorities.
We also discussed the upcoming hashtag Annual Conference taking place on 23 October 2026, which promises to bring together leaders, practitioners, and innovators from across sectors.

Stay tuned for exciting updates and future collaborative initiatives between the Stirling Centre and FHRD. We look forward to hopefully meeting many of you in hashtag during the conference.
