It’s week 38 of 2025, and there are lots of tech events happening across Scotland: Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee and Edinburgh all feature this week.

Are you interested in giving a technical talk at a meetup group? Then check out Speaker Launchpad! A group of community members are getting together to offer help to folks who want to present anything from a five-minute lightning showcase to a full 25-minute technical talk. Read all the details at:scottishtechnology.club/launchpad, and if you want to find out more James will be at GlasgowJS on Tuesday 16th and Fanny will be at EdinburghJS on 23rd to speak about it.
