Highland Fling : Sessions - Industry Body

Industry Body

We are starting an industry body to represent anybody who works with the web and we'd like you to be involved.

At this event we will be presenting our plan of action to turn this from an idea into a reality and giving you the chance to be involved from the beginning.

Join us at FanDuel's Edinburgh office at 6pm on May 11

Professionalism

With fake news and emissions tests in the headlines the ethics of software development are being called into question. Software is increasingly affecting people's lives and, with the internet of things and driverless cars, it's no longer confined to the virtual world. Our industry is on the brink of challenges which will be very disruptive and very unpleasant and which will test us as we’ve never been challenged.

Doctors, lawyers, architects and engineers all face a similar challenge regarding the consequences of their actions and have professional certifications and codes of conduct.

In this session we will be discussing what it means to be a recognised professional and what steps, as industry, we can take to move in this direction. Join us at 6pm in FanDuel's offices in Glasgow to take part in the discussion.
