We consider the tree-level scattering of massless particles in (d+2)-dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes. The $$S$$ -matrix elements are recast as correlation functions of local operators living on a space-like cut $$M$$_d of the null momentum cone. The Lorentz group SO(d + 1, 1) is nonlinearly realized as the Euclidean conformal group on $$M$$_d. Operators of non-trivial spin arise from massless particles transforming in non-trivial representations of the little group SO(d), and distinguished operators arise from the soft-insertions of gauge bosons and gravitons. The leading soft-photon operator is the shadow transform of a conserved spin-one primary operator J_a, and the subleading soft-graviton operator is the shadow transform of a conserved spin-two symmetric traceless primary operator T_ab. The universal form of the soft-limits ensures that J_a and T_ab obey the Ward identities expected of a conserved current and energy momentum tensor in a Euclidean CFT_d, respectively.
