Welcome to the Ada Scotland Festival

Building gender balance in computer science

The Ada Scotland Festival is back for the fifth consecutive year, running from 1 to 11 October 2024. Our mission remains to champion gender balance in tech and computing, providing inspiration for our young people and to build a stronger, fairer, more diverse work force of the future.
