It was International Women’s Day at the weekend, and it was great to see so many women in tech highlighted on social media. If you are keen to hear from more women in tech directly then it’s well worth attending Women Techmakers Scotland conference this Saturday. It runs 1pm-6pm at The Social Hub in Glasgow. Tickets are £5 (£3 for students), and proceeds will go to support dressCode.

I’m also keen to hear from women who want to speak (or host!) the Glasgow or Edinburgh JavaScript meetups. For a no-obligation chat about the types of talk we can host please do send me a message via our speakers and volunteers form!

I’m running GlasgowJS this Tuesday, hosted by Victoria, with Sergio doing a talk on Design Systems and TailwindCSS. View a trailer on our YouTube channel. You can tune in on our livestream from 7pm (hit “Notify me”!).
