Announcing the inaugural Tech for Good Summit Scotland!

You may have seen the announcement on social media last week - together with ScotlandIS, CodeClan and OSCR, we announced that registration is open for the first Tech for Good Summit Scotland, taking place on 28 April, the first anniversary of the launch of the Scottish Tech Army.

This online event aims to initiate a step change in the tech for good ecosystem in Scotland, aggregating and amplifying impact by co-ordinating the many initiatives that already exist and stimulating new collaborations.

Since our launch last April, the Scottish Tech Army has recruited over 1,500 volunteers from the tech industry in Scotland, helping hundreds of organisations that serve individuals and communities across Scotland by delivering digital solutions at a time when delivering on their mission has become much more challenging.

There is a huge potential to make even better use of digital technologies at scale to help the third sector, public sector and small businesses thrive post-pandemic.

The summit will welcome participants from across the whole tech for good ecosystem - business leaders, charities, educators, SMBs and volunteers - for a day of discussion, debate, collaboration, challenge and inspiration. We are honoured to welcome Amanda Renteria, CEO of Code for America and Shonaig Macpherson CBE FRSE, Chair of the Robertson Trust, as our keynote speakers.

This is a huge milestone for the Scottish Tech Army - one year from our launch we will both celebrate what has been achieved by our amazing community of volunteers and raise the bar for what can be achieved in the year to come and beyond.

Join us on 28 April, when we will explore best practices, showcase inspirational CSR stories and shine a light on some amazing volunteers.

Stay tuned for more updates over the coming weeks!
