ScotlandIS chief Polly Purvis said: “As the digital technology sector in Scotland continues to grow, and the technology calendar has blossomed, events such as ScotSoft become more and more influential in shaping the industry.
“Our tagline for this year’s event is ‘sometimes you just need an idea’. ScotSoft does just that by offering a unique opportunity for developers, CEOs and thought leaders to meet, share knowledge and inspire each other to think differently.”
ScotSoft will also feature the young software engineer of the year awards, which have been running for 28 years and have typically seen the winners emerge with an average of three job offers.
