SYNOPSIS

The BCS Aberdeen Branch is proud to relaunch with a renewed commitment to empowering the region’s tech community and advancing the BCS vision: to make IT good for society.

This celebration marks a new chapter — one that honours our legacy, embraces the present, and boldly shapes the future.

Under the theme Tech in the North - Honouring Legacy, Shaping Tomorrow, this high-energy evening brings together professionals, students, and ecosystem partners to connect, reflect, and reimagine what technology can achieve in the North East of Scotland.

Through lightning talks, interactive panels, and collaborative activities, attendees will explore how BCS Aberdeen complements the thriving local tech landscape — not by competing, but by connecting.

Together, we’ll spotlight ethical innovation, inclusive leadership, and the power of community-driven change. Whether you're a long-standing member or a first-time guest, this event is your invitation to help build a branch that reflects Aberdeen’s unique strengths and contributes meaningfully to the national and global tech conversation.

Let’s celebrate where we’ve been — and commit to where we’re going.

Our events are for adults aged 16 years and over.
