Our Mission is to Find and Empower Neo’s
Neo from The Matrix
If you’ve not seen The Matrix, Neo’s are people who have a special ability and role to play in making the world a better place.

Product Forge is running a Renting Scotland Mini Forge in collaboration with SafeDeposits Scotland Trust and Shelter Scotland. The event will be held at Whitespace on Thursday 16th of November 2017.
The Renting Scotland Product Forge is a unique opportunity for letting agencies, landlords and tenants associations to explore data in collaboration with entrepreneurially minded data scientists, analysts and software engineers to develop ideas that would benefit the private renting sector with a focus on projects that advance education and conflict resolution.
In this series of workshops we will explore what skills and experience are needed to get into a Leadership role, and what special qualities are desired at the highest levels.
WORKSHOPS
* Essential Skills for the Board in a Digital Age - Based on a Briefing Paper By Vicky Brock Led by Girl Geek Scotland
* The X-Factor for Leadership Roles, Based on International Research - Led by Gail Logan
* What Can Tech Learn From The Aurora Leadership Programme - Led by TBC
Girl Geek Scotland is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the event without a refund at the discretion of the event organisers.
Harassment includes verbal comments or the supply of written materials that reinforce social structures of domination related to gender or other characteristics, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention. Participants asked to stop any harassing behaviour are expected to comply immediately.
If a participant engages in harassing behaviour, the event organisers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the event with no refund. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact one of the event organisers immediately.
Event organisers will be happy to help participants contact venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event. We value your attendance.
We expect participants to follow these rules at all event venues and event-related social events.
Product Forge is running a Renting Scotland hackathon in collaboration with SafeDeposits Scotland Trust and Shelter Scotland. The event will be held at Whitespace from Thursday 16th to Sunday 19th of November 2017.

Building Digital Communities - From ideas to solutions
Description changed:
Join Shelter Scotland on the 19th of July in Edinburgh where we’ll be exploring “Building and inspiring digital communities”.
This one day event aims to bring charities and the tech community together to look at the digital problems charities face and how the tech community can potentially help them find solutions
The idea for the event came from a project we’ve been working on. The “I need help” tool will help homeless people find and access help in an emergency. This tool was the winning idea from a Hackathon we ran last year, and which went on to be funded by Comic Relief.
We’ll be showing our journey from idea generation to building the tool.
Through our journey, we’ve realised that as a charity it’s hard to tap in to the tech community to commission work or to find advice and hopefully by inviting both charities and designers, developers and marketers to the event we’ll be able to bring these 2 communities together.
We’re keen to learn about the digital problems you face in your organisation so that we can find out if bringing the tech and charity communities together can improve the way in which we all approach digital in Scotland today.
We’ll then help attendees run through the same process so in effect we’ll be working on your ideas and understanding what the process from problem to solution is.
Who should attend
You work in the creative industries, or you're a comms person interested in digital.
You're a marketer, service desinger or work in research and user experience.
You might be a developer, product owner or designer and you're looking to get more involved with the work charities in Scotland are doing.
You work for a charity in any of these areas, or you're keen for your charity to be better at digital.
