TecTonic: Night Summit (Glasgow Tech Week)
TecTonic: Night Summit is an experiential, collaborative celebration of digital innovation and community, and the official ‘market square’ evening event for Glasgow Tech Week.
A mix between a conference and a live community gathering, it promises to be an inclusive, energised and vibrant showcase of innovation and connectivity within Scotland’s digital business community and startup ecosystem.
The name celebrates the movement, overlap and continuous evolution of innovation, relationships and collaboration, across sectors, in enterprise.
Expect exhibitors and interactive digital experiences, business growth and mentorship office hours, keynotes and off-the-wall business sessions, music, performers and an inclusive startup pitch showcase.
The event will bring together 300-500 people from all over the world, those in the digital business community, entrepreneurs, investors, buyers and the people and brands that make up Scotland’s eclectic innovation ecosystem.
