What we’re about
The Tech Meetup is a monthly excuse for the tech community around Scotland to network, learn and share new ideas! Come along to enjoy informative presentations from your peers, listen to exciting projects in the community and make some new connections.
No specific programming languages, technologies or disciplines are required - we believe you can learn something from anyone! No sales pitches, name badges or commitments either - everyone is welcome to come along and enjoy the free pizza, drinks and talks.
The Tech Meetup is run by volunteers from the tech community in each city/region and is governed by a code of conduct. The event space, food and drinks are all kindly provided by sponsors and supporters of the meetup.

This session will explore how you can leverage your tech skills to help charities navigate the digital landscape, implement innovative solutions, and enhance their overall digital strategy. Learn how your expertise in digital, data, or design can empower charities to achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively, all while developing your own leadership skills and gaining invaluable experience in the non-profit sector.
Discover the personal and professional benefits of joining a charity board as a digital trustee. This talk will cover the essentials of the role, the impact you can make, and how to get started. Whether you're looking to broaden your professional network, contribute to a cause you care about, or simply want to give back using your tech skills, this session will provide you with the knowledge and inspiration you need. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how you can play a pivotal role in driving digital transformation in the charity sector.

All are welcome and there is no requirement to have any level of tech knowledge or experience to attend, just a desire to learn. Come along (bring your friends), network and learn something new with us!
To make Glasgow's Tech Meetup welcoming for people joining for the first time we implement the PacMan Rule.
The rule is:
“When standing as a group of people, always leave room for 1 person to join your group.”More memorably, stand like Pac-Man! You can learn more about this here.
