Digital Lifelines Conference: Connected Lives in a Connected System

The event will showcase how place-based partnerships are embedding digital within local systems to improve access and accessibility, reduce inequalities and support better outcomes for people. Through shared learning and evidence of impact, delegates will explore how digital inclusion and digital products and services are moving from time-limited project activities to sustainable components of Scotland's response to substance use harm and recovery.

Whether you work in policy, service delivery, health and care, community and voluntary sector, or digital innovation, this conference offers an opportunity to learn from emerging practice, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to shaping the future of digitally enabled support across Scotland.

Register now to be part of the conversation.

The agenda for the day will be published as it emerges in coming weeks and months.

We intend meeting the high standard of the 2026 DLS Conference, here’s a reminder of that event.
