Bulletin 2025 Week 21 · Monday May 19th
Welcome to another Scottish Technology Club bulletin. I’ve started listing events from Edinburgh Game Developers Meetup and a new TravelTech Meetup. The travel tech meetup is run by Joshua Ryan-Saha of the Edinburgh Futures Institute who helped coordinate the EdinburghJS travel tech event at the end of last year.
EdinburghJS is back this Tuesday with Nick Worrall talking about State Machines. The trailer is on YouTube. I’m away for this one, but will hopefully join attendees at the pub afterwards. I’m keen to find some volunteers to help with this! I’m also looking for speakers for our upcoming GlasgowJS event on AI, and future events in general. If you want to speak or volunteer then fill out our form.
