ScotSoft 2014
One of the biggest events in the digital calendar, ScotSoft, took place at the EICC in October. This event is a celebration of innovation within the world of technology and brings together some of the industry's most respected figures, including Skyscanner CEO Gareth Williams and Angel Investor Sherry Coutu.
350 secondary school pupils and teachers from across the country also attended the event and were given the opportunity to talk to leading industry figures about the merits of a career in technology. Polly Purvis, Chief Executive of ScotlandIS, organisers of the event, says: "The schools debate invites them to ask the questions that really matter and meet other young people who share their interest in IT and technology. It also gives us the chance to tap into the energy and enthusiasm of the next generation and learn more about why they are interested in our industry."
