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.
