HomeGame 6
You’ll get everything you normally get from a lang cat event, but this time we’re inviting you to Leith – our actual home. It’s going to be mostly Scottish.
You’ll get everything you normally get from a lang cat event, but this time we’re inviting you to Leith – our actual home. It’s going to be mostly Scottish.
HomeGame 6 isn’t just another HomeGame. It’s a homecoming for the lang cat. This year we bring our annual event to just a few hundred metres from The Lang Cat Port Authority (that’s our head office) and we want to invite you to join us for an event quite unlike any other.
Leith matters to us not just because it’s home, but also because it’s Edinburgh and it isn’t. It sits apart from the New Town’s Georgian staidness, from the financial district’s polished confidence. It has a different history: a working port, a vibrant creative quarter, a neighbourhood that’s been through the fire and come out interesting.
Leith Theatre itself has been closed, damaged, abused, neglected, reopened and closed again. But it has always been loved by the people who never stopped believing in it, and now it’s slowly, carefully being brought back. We are proud to be a small part of that. Place isn’t just a backdrop for us; it’s the perfect framing for HomeGame 6. When we ask the industry to think differently about what it’s building and why, we want to do it somewhere that knows what it means to rebuild.
And there’s work to do. The questions facing financial planning right now are not small ones. We don’t need to mention that AI is no longer a future threat to prepare for, but a present reality that the profession is already navigating without a map.
At HomeGame 2026 we’re going to hold a mirror up to all of this. HomeGame 6 isn’t a conference about AI; you’ve had those. Instead we’re going to throw you in at the deep end and create a space that uses AI in real time to ask something harder: can you actually do the thinking?
You’ll be put in teams. You’ll build propositions. You’ll create financial plans live and on the hoof. You’ll vote on real choices. You’ll discover, live in the room, exactly why some of the profession’s longest-running problems have stayed unsolved. For a few hours, you’ll come out of the daily grind and be given the chance to ask: what if?
Come with us to Leith. Come home.

We provided the research for a report, in conjunction with Parmenion, which reveals how far short of expectations many adviser platforms are falling. The research found that over the last 12 months, 88% of advisers needed to apologise to at least one of their clients on behalf of a platform, and that poor service delivery from platforms impacts 91% of advisers every day.

Service means a lot of things to a lot of different people. It’s so subjective it can be hard to put your finger on. This paper aims to challenge the status quo and inertia that’s built up in the sector for many years.
