I recently sent a short survey round about TechMeetup Edinburgh, and figured I should summarise some thoughts that came out of it.
For anyone who's not been around the tech scene in Edinburgh for ~6 years, TechMeetup was started by Sam Collins about 6 years ago to create a space to pull the wider Edinburgh tech & startup community together.
Since then, we've expanded to events in Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness. And the Edinburgh event has cycled through a number of organisers in the last 6 years. Currently it's organised by myself and Marius.
