Edinburgh Tech Network's informal evening at the Slug and Lettuce on George Street. No slides and no speeches — the whole format is conversation between people who work in tech, across development, product, design and UX. ETN runs these regularly enough to have built a genuine returning crowd, which is what makes an unstructured event actually work rather than leaving newcomers stranded. Free, with capped places.
