TecTonic Night Summit

​TecTonic: Night Summit is an experiential, collaborative celebration of digital innovation and community.

​A mix between a conference and a live 'Market Square' community gathering, our events are 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. 

TecTonic is also designed to be a collaborative showcase of ecosystem cohesion and an opportunity to break silos, dissolve tribal thinking and cross-pollinate excellent people and ideas in a fun and engaging arena.
