Join us at Civic House, Glasgow on the first Thursday of each month for our free event featuring two talks on tech with soft drinks and pizza.
✨ Speaker 1: Keith Harrison - Growing the Glasgow Tech Community
Having a vibrant tech community in Glasgow has many benefits such as helping people grow their careers, learning from each other and keeping up to date with the latest innovations.
In this talk, we’ll explore the what’s happened to the community over the last few years from it’s near extinction after Covid to where we are now and to how we can grow it in the future!

Is the Agile zeitgeist over? Join us for an engaging talk exploring Agile’s journey from an upstart to cornerstone of modern work culture - and examines what lies ahead.
We’ll delve into an impassioned defence of the value Agile provides today and consider next steps as businesses navigate challenges and deal with change, particularly with the rise of AI.

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.
