First, big thanks to CityJS for their ticket giveaway at our JavaScript meetups. Ricardo was the winner of the ticket raffle, and enjoyed attending CityJS London at the weekend. One of the benefits of organising a community like Scottish Technology Club is that we can attract sponsors and giveaways - a win-win for all involved. If you are planning on attending any international conferences (e.g. CityJS Athens in May) then give me a shout, I can try and intro Scotland-based folks for a casual hang out!

It’s another busy week for the Scottish tech community: kicking off with Cam Blackwood hosting a “Supabase launch week” event in Codebase on Monday evening. Following that we have Event-driven Software, GlasgowPHP, Dundee Data, Ladies of Code, Azure UG, TechMeetup Glasgow, and more. As always, check the What’s On Page for a three week view.

If you live in the Borders check out Borders Tech Connect on Substack for info on this new initiative. Also take a look at Aberdeen Tech Events for more local info there!

If you are seeking to support entrepreneurs or startups in Scotland then take a look at The Ecosystem Fund. I have a private channel for event organisers on our Discord server too - give me a shout to be included!
