Tech events are happening in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow this week, and a couple online for those who can’t make it out in person. Looking further ahead, next week I’ll be running GlasgowJS where Patty O’Callaghan will be speaking about “Best Practices for AI-Assisted Programming”. It’s sure to be a good event, so sign up now to secure your spot.

Some folks might be interested in the “AI Safety Hub Edinburgh” Discord server.

A quick reminder that the deadline for the first cohort of “Speaker Launchpad” is tomorrow (Tuesday 7th October), so sign up now if you are interested in some mentoring to help you deliver a tech talk.
