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:** [Matt Graham](https://www.linkedin.com/in/m1graham/) UI/UX Lead at Vidatec
**Design Thinking in the AI Age**
Design Thinking in the AI Age explores how the principles of human-centred design can shape the development and application of artificial intelligence.

In this talk, we’ll examine how to combine creativity, empathy, and innovation to use AI solutions that solve real-world problems while prioritizing ethical and user-focused outcomes. Discover how the iterative process of design thinking can help navigate the complexities of AI, bridge the gap between technology and humanity, and unlock its potential for positive, meaningful impact in our rapidly evolving world.

**✨** **Speaker 2:** [Nick Welch](https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-welch-a1a5567/), CTO
**Better Digital Experience through Data, Content and Context**
In today’s business world, information overload is a growing challenge.

The average enterprise juggles dozens of software platforms, manages an endless stream of emails, and navigates constant notifications—all contributing to inefficiency and stress.

In this talk Nick will discuss different way organisations can combat this, from API integrations that unify data into a seamless operating system for the business, to contextually tagging information to surface insights and leveraging AI with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to create virtual assistants.

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](https://www.ericholscher.com/blog/2017/aug/2/pacman-rule-conferences/).**

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](https://www.ericholscher.com/blog/2017/aug/2/pacman-rule-conferences/).
