Edinburgh's UX community gathers to interrogate one of the hottest topics in the field: AI in user research. Senior UX Researcher Ash Montes (DWP, creator of UX in the Head on YouTube) shares hands-on experiments with AI models and hard-won lessons on where they fall short — covering both capabilities and real limitations in qualitative analysis. With 34 confirmed attendees and 14 on the waitlist, this is one of Edinburgh's most in-demand UX events in recent memory. Doors at 6 PM, talk at 6:30 PM.

A networking evening celebrating diversity in Scotland's healthtech sector, organised by One HealthTech. Connect with leading employers, mentors, and role models working at the intersection of technology and healthcare — and explore what a career in healthtech actually looks like. Designed for people from underrepresented backgrounds who are curious about or already working in the field.

Edinburgh's data science community gathers at CodeBase with two standout talks: Dr Alex Sopio (University of Edinburgh) on building LLM tools for CERN's big science collaboration, and Dr Gordon Henderson (Skyscanner) on diversity-aware ranking systems for flight search. Networking with pizza and drinks 5:30 PM, talks at 6:30 PM. Sponsored by Trustpilot and Moonsift.

A weekly co-working session for founders building scalable technology ventures, hosted by Bayes Centre and ScotlandIS.
