# Scottish Technology Club Bulletin — Week 36, 2026

There are a lot more events getting posted to the [What's On page](https://www.scottishtechnology.club/whats-on) now we are coming up to September. It's great to see so much activity in the tech community across Scotland. Looking ahead to next week I'll be at [Tectonic Night Summit](https://tectonic.scot/) in Glasgow. Please do shout in the Discord server if you are planning on attending too!

Congrats to Ladies of Code Glasgow for celebrating [ten years](https://lnkd.in/p/eVRAAKJU)! It takes a lot to keep a meetup organised over the years, so this is a great achievement. Thanks for the cover image for the bulletin this week too!
