Bluewave is delighted to once again join our friends at Salesforce to sponsor their Burns Night celebration – marking the second year in a row that we’ve brought this uniquely Scottish tradition to life, in a gathering of community, culture, and connection.
Burns Night offers a chance to celebrate Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns, and to reflect on the values his work embodies – unity, storytelling, passion and a fierce pride in community. At Bluewave, these values resonate deeply not only because we are proudly rooted in Scotland’s tech and public sector landscape, but because they align with the way we work: collaboratively, inclusively and with a deep respect for the people and partnerships that make our work meaningful. This year’s event will once again bring together members of the Scottish digital community, public sector leaders, Salesforce partners, customers and friends for an evening of food, entertainment and networking in honour of Burns and all that his legacy represents. We’re excited to build on the success of last year’s celebration and to welcome both familiar faces and new guests to what is quickly becoming an anticipated social highlight on the Salesforce tech calendar.

Building Community Through Shared Celebration
Bluewave’s involvement in Burns Night is about more than just hosting an event – it reflects our ongoing commitment to the Scottish Public Sector, to the communities we serve, and to the partnerships that help us all achieve more. Over the years, we’ve taken pride in fostering dialogue, learning and connection through a series of flagship gatherings, from our Scottish Public Sector Learning and Collaboration Days – now running for four consecutive years – to a growing portfolio of industry meetups and celebrations.
Our commitment goes beyond events alone. For years, Bluewave has worked closely with organisations across Scotland, including the Scottish National Investment Bank, Education Scotland, Marine Scotland and many others, helping them to harness Salesforce technology to improve public services, boost citizen engagement and unlock value from data and digital transformation. Whether it’s streamlining processes for frontline workers or enabling intuitive digital experiences for citizens, our dedication to the Scottish public sector remains unwavering.
We’ve also extended this commitment into national and international spaces – from hosting four consecutive Official World Tour after-parties in London to collaborating with Salesforce and Sprout Social on events that bring together sectors, perspectives and ideas in environments that encourage connection and creativity. In each instance, gatherings like Burns Night offer more than celebration; they provide a space to deepen partnerships, widen networks and reaffirm our shared mission of positive, community-centred transformation.

Partnership, Purpose and a Shared Stage
Our continued partnership with Salesforce is central to this work. As a Salesforce partner, Bluewave draws on the power and flexibility of the platform to deliver bespoke digital transformation solutions that help organisations work smarter, connect with stakeholders more effectively, and scale their impact sustainably. Similarly, working alongside Sprout Social – whose tools enable meaningful, data-driven engagement across social platforms – allows us to bring a richer, more connected perspective to digital community building. Together, we’re able to collaborate across technology, strategy and engagement disciplines, bringing forward events that are insightful, valuable and, importantly, fun. Burns Night is a perfect example of this cross-sector collaboration in action: a chance to honour cultural heritage, foster professional community and celebrate shared success, all centred around an evening of storytelling, fine food and plenty of lively conversation.

Celebrating the Past, Looking to the Future
As we prepare to host this year’s Burns Night, we’re reminded of the importance of both tradition and innovation: celebrating where we come from while looking ahead to what’s next. The past year has been full of breakthroughs and growth for Bluewave – from welcoming new customers into our community to delivering creative, impactful Salesforce solutions across sectors and strengthening the ties that bind us to partners like Salesforce and Sprout Social. Burns Night allows us to pause, reflect and give thanks while also looking forward to future opportunities for collaboration, connection and impact. Whether you’re raising a glass of whisky, enjoying the poetry of the bard, or simply savouring the spirit of community, we hope this evening reminds us all of the power of shared experience – and the promise of what comes next. Here’s to good company, bold ideas, and the many adventures that 2026 holds ahead! Slàinte Mhath!
