EdinburghJS is a casual event, presenting short talks and a chance for discussion with other local JavaScripters, whatever your experience or job title is. Our goal is to have an awesome and inclusive community meetup where people meet, hang out together, chat, listen to talks, exchange ideas and make new friends.
We'll be looking for monthly contributors who want to talk about the technologies they're most comfortable with, looking at the pros, cons and unknowns. Drop us a message if you fancy speaking.
We are currently arranging the speaker, stay tuned...
Meetup @ 6pm (speaker starts @ 6:30pm)
Everyone is welcome, we have members and regular attendees who are widely varied in their WordPress Skills, beginners through to experts. Combine this with a variety of interests and backgrounds and you have a recipe for a great meetup. So please do come along regardless or your WordPress knowledge!
There is always a social side to the WP Edinburgh meetups, many attendees have found this to be of great benefit & an opportunity to meet others to share & learn on all things WordPress and beyond :)
Product Up is an informal pub meetup in Edinburgh dedicated to bringing together the product community in Edinburgh. Whether you are a Product Manager, UX designer, Engineer or work in Sales/BD and you are passionate about creating fantastic products - ProductUp is for you.
We started the meetup whilst working as Product Managers when we realised that there is no informal place to share product war stories, discuss challenges and keep track of all the amazing developments happening in Edinburgh.
We meet monthly and as outlined, it’s a completely informal meet up so the discussions are entirely open. We have no speakers as this is all about you and giving you a chance to meet and talk to everyone in the community.
The meetup is free to attend, so invite your product friends. Come along for the beer, stay for the great product discussions!
• Important to know
We want to create a comfortable and relaxed environment for our attendees so we would appreciate it if you could refrain from directly selling products/services or do recruitment at our events. It's fine if deals/transactions come out naturally from conversations.
One of our regular drop in open nights, no need to call ahead, just turn up! We'll be tinkering with hardware, hacking some code and probably eating. Feel free to come along with a project or idea for some help, use some tools, or just hang out.

We have access to the CodeClan vending machines but you might want to bring your own drink/sandwich/salad. There is a nearby Sainsbury's on West Port/Lady Lawson St junction. There will be some social time, technical (python) question time, maybe a presentation or two (short) and planning for the forthcoming sessions.
This is a very casual and welcoming meetup - come along to code in company, chat about learning to code or coding in general and learn from other people over a beverage of your choice.
All languages and levels of experience welcome, you don't have to be a beginner and you also don't have to know anything yet to come along!
There's no structure for this event, it's just for socialising and learning - drop in for however long you like.
I'll bring a paper meetup sign so you can find me on the day.
The OpenStreetMap community in Edinburgh have a social meeting every month, usually on the third Tuesday of the month, from 7:30pm
Everyone is welcome, to come and meet with us. We will try and have either a hi-vis vest and/or OSM related flyers/posters on the table. This is an opportunity to meet with others and hear about what's going on, learn new mapping techniques, s, and just generally discuss all things relating to maps, visualisations, Open Data and GIS etc.

Bringing an automation first mindset to finance. How Robotic Process Automation can bring Artificial Intelligence into the context of established business processes and customer interactions.
Despite the failures, the promise of digital transformation remains.
Intelligent automation finally enables banks to deliver on that promise.
18:30 - 19:00:
Sign in, networking, drinks and food!
19:00 - 20:45:
We'll split off into small groups (dependent on number of attendees) where individuals can talk through any coding / architectural / design / planning / organisational issues they're currently experiencing and ask for advice on how to overcome them. People are welcome to bring their own laptops and share their code if that would be helpful for them, but it's also fine to come armed with only your brain. Any very difficult problems can be opened up to other groups!
Questions about languages or stacks unrelated to PHP are welcome, but remember that most edPUGGERS attend because they have an interest in PHP, so your Rust question may go unanswered!
If you find yourself in a group with no problems to discuss, don't worry! Each group will be provided with some suggested discussion topics to help facilitate knowledge sharing.
20:45 onwards:
Tidy up and optionally head to the pub!

How do you ask for more money? What's the best way to approach asking for a promotion? And what's the right strategy to discuss flexible working or changing your terms and conditions?
These are just some of the questions we'll be exploring at our next event when we cover the topic of Negotiating Skills.

This summer, Tech Nation will showcase its 2019 Report in Edinburgh featuring the latest insights on UK tech’s global performance, tech ecosystem, and emerging technologies.
Join us at the Bayes Centre for an evening of insight, panel discussion and networking, as we explore how the UK's digital tech ecosystem stacks up against global competition while discussing the Scotland's role specifically.
This is an event bringing together founders, entrepreneurs, investors and tech ecosystem partners to make new connections, gain further insight into the tech ecosystem at large and celebrate the success of the local sector.
We're excited to announce Mode 2 Meetup episode 15, sponsored by Infinity Works!
Mode 2 is a regular meetup about IT innovation within large companies across central Scotland.
Each meetup will feature two short talks and a chance to connect with IT innovators in a relaxed environment with free beer/wine and pizza. The talks for this meetup are:
1: Moca Habibi, IT Delivery Analyst, Sainsbury's Bank
Moca has been with Sainsbury's Bank since December 2017 where he has been working in the Digital Programme. Previously worked in Baillie Gifford, Agenor Technology and Jabil. Moca is a Heriot-Watt University graduate with an MA (Hons) in Business Management.
Always curious about fancy new tech, gaming and e-sports fan and also a marathon-movie watcher.
"Is business analysis dead?"
The role of the traditional business analyst is changing. Adoption of agile ways of working, technology advancements in the financial services and the increasing focus in customer experience, require to rethink this role.
2: Tim Leslie, CTO, Float
Tim joined Float as CTO in January - a little company with a big heart that helps small businesses survive and thrive through effective cash management. Prior to this he managed the development team at Sumdog. He loves his family, his garden and his tractor very much.
"Building a Collaborative Engineering Culture"
Those of us who have been fortunate enough to work in a collaborative environment know how productive it feels. If we’ve been unlucky we know collaboration isn’t always the default state. The bad news is collaboration doesn’t just happen when you put the right people in the same room. The good news is a collaborative culture can be intentionally created. In this talk I will explore why a collaborative culture is so important and I’ll share my take on how to foster one.

Trippo - Building an MVP app with React-Native and AWS
Abstract
Trippo is an AI-powered travel app that allows people to capture and organise their visual inspiration with just a screenshot. In this talk, I will tell you about the architecture of Trippo, how we managed to get featured on TechCrunch (https://techcrunch.com/video/trippo-travel-inspiration-using-screenshots/) and Apple App Store without spending a dime on marketing, and some of the mistakes I've made as a solo technical founder.
Bio
I'm the founder/CEO of Trippo, and previously a Senior Software Engineer/Engineer Manager at Skyscanner and Full-Stack Software Engineer at Amazon. I'm looking for more people to join Trippo, so come by and have a chat if you're interested :)
