# Scottish Technology Club Bulletin — Week 9, 2026

It's a busy week for Scottish tech meetups with events Mon-Fri across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen! There have also been a fair few blogs and vlogs posted over the past week. I took my own advice and wrote up last weeks EdinburghJS event. It's great to see other people post about what they are working on or events they have attended too. More of this please (if you need a hand getting started publishing then give me a shout)!
