Tech For Inclusion
Join Glasgow's leading event on tech inclusion. Connect, innovate, and drive change with industry leaders and forward-thinking organisations.
About Tech For Inclusion
Join us for Tech for Inclusion: Creating a fairer future with tech, now reimagined to reflect the latest challenges and opportunities in the tech industry. This year's event will explore three critical themes:
Inclusion in the Age of Ai,
Navigating New Accessibility Legislation,
How Tech is Driving Equity Worldwide.
The conference will feature thought leaders, innovators, and businesses at the forefront of inclusion and accessibility in tech.
What to Expect
This isn’t your typical tech conference—Tech for Inclusion offers a dynamic blend of keynote speeches, engaging panel discussions, and immersive networking sessions. Each session is designed to dive deep into pressing issues, from how AI is reshaping accessibility to the impact of evolving legislation on businesses. Breakout spaces will foster creativity and collaboration, ensuring that every voice is heard, and every idea has room to grow.
The Gala Dinner: A Night of Connection and Celebration
Wrap up the day with our Gala Dinner—a relaxed evening of great food, live music, and continued conversations. Starting at 7 pm, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the progress made in inclusive tech and connect with others in a casual, vibrant setting. Reflect on the insights shared throughout the day, deepen new connections, and toast to a future where tech truly includes everyone.
Themes for 2024:
Inclusion in the age of Ai
• Discover how AI technologies are changing the landscape of inclusion, the ethical implications, and how to ensure that this new wave of tech empowers everyone equally.
How the incoming accessibility legislation will affect your business
• Stay ahead of the curve by learning how upcoming legal changes will impact your organisation. This session will provide practical insights and strategies to ensure compliance and enhance accessibility for all.
How tech is being used to create a more equitable world
• Explore groundbreaking innovations and case studies showcasing how technology is levelling the playing field for underrepresented communities.
Networking opportunities
Engage with a diverse mix of experts, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policy influencers, including representatives from the Scottish government, and key industry players. Whether you want to spark new partnerships, discuss the latest innovations, or exchange insights, Tech for Inclusion offers unparalleled opportunities to connect with those shaping the future of inclusive tech.
Why now?
As we navigate an era of rapid technological change, there has never been a more important time to address the intersection of tech, accessibility, and equity. Following eight successful years with The Milk Bar, we’re expanding our mission to drive more meaningful change through Tech for Inclusion—ensuring that the Scottish tech scene leads in building a fairer, more inclusive future.
Join us in shaping a tech-driven future where inclusion is the norm, not the exception. Secure your spot today—ticket donations will benefit an inclusion-focused charity.
