Tech Events by Together in Tech — Edinburgh

with Claudia Cavalluzzo (Director, Venture Café Edinburgh) · Aileen Carson (Neurodiversity trainer and coach, )

An interactive workshop on networking itself: why professional relationships matter, how to start conversations in a way that suits your personality, and where they happen, from formal events to cafés and community spaces. Two speakers. Dr Claudia Cavalluzzo, who runs Venture Café Edinburgh, talks on "The Chemistry of Connections". Aileen Carson, a neurodiversity trainer, coach and keynote speaker, covers practical approaches for different ways of thinking. Then you practise introductions, conversations and follow-ups in a low-pressure room. 18:00 to 20:00 at CodeBase on Castle Terrace, hosted by Together in Tech Edinburgh. Free, RSVP on Meetup. Why go: useful if you dread the open-networking half of every other event on this page. Best for job seekers, first-time founders and anyone in tech who'd like a friendlier way into the room.

with Bethany McKenzie (Principal Recruitment Consultant, Harvey Nash) · Samantha Leeman (Product Owner / career coach, Lloyds Banking Group)

An evening on building and progressing a tech career as a woman or someone from an underrepresented background: what helped, what held people back, and how to get ahead. Speakers: Bethany McKenzie, Principal Recruitment Consultant at Harvey Nash, on progression, confidence and pay; and Samantha Leeman, Product Owner at Lloyds Banking Group and career coach, who left school at 16 and will talk honestly about the choices that didn't go to plan. Then networking, drinks and pizza from sponsor MosAIc. 17:30 to 19:30 at CodeBase. Free; open to women, LGBTQ+ people and allies, with only a handful of spots left. Use CodeBase's back entrance this time, as there is filming out front: go in via Argyle House, 3 Lady Lawson Street, EH3 9DS, and head to Floor J. Why go: frank career talk from a recruiter who sees the salary data and a product lead with an unconventional path. Best for anyone in Edinburgh tech plotting their next move.

Scotland is a major player in the international space sector — Glasgow builds more small satellites than anywhere else in Europe — and the field is growing faster than the talent pipeline behind it. Together in Tech Edinburgh brings people working in the sector to CodeBase to talk about how they got in and what the roles actually involve. The framing is deliberate: most jobs in space tech are software, data, operations and commercial rather than aerospace engineering. Free, and well-suited to anyone considering a sideways move.

Together in Tech's first Edinburgh event of 2026 — an evening of networking and AI conversation at N-able's Edinburgh office, with drinks and pizza. Open to all in the tech community and a good spot to meet people working across Edinburgh's tech sector.
