Hack Glasgow

Where would any community-run event be without its crew..?!

Even in the face of a brutal 16 hour shift (as well as several hours the day before), these incredible people never stopped for even a minute, constantly putting in the work and focus needed to keep the event running smoothly for everyone, and we are so grateful for every single one of them.

Where would any community-run event be without its crew..?!

We're delighted to announce that we've now published the recordings for Hack Glasgow 2026!

If you're looking for a place to hang out tonight, we'd suggest making your way to The Raven! The Raven (81–85 Renfield St) was the first ever venue for Hack Thursday, back in April 2023, before we moved to the Rhoderick Dhu, so we have a bit of a soft spot for it.

Like last year, we'll be running a charity sticker stall where you can pick up some cool bits and pieces.

We're all about making people feel welcome, so choosing which charity to support this year was an easy choice. Local grassroots charity Refuweegee reaches out to forcibly displaced people arriving in Scotland, offering welcome packs and helping them feel part of their new community.

We've said it several times now and it never stops being true: like many other community-led events, Hack Glasgow would genuinely not be able to run without the support of its absolutely fantastic sponsors.

Please do take some time to chat with these amazing organisations on Saturday or take a look at what they offer. Companies that sponsor events like ours have a real interest in the infosec community and so tend to be great places to work and have great teams to do business with.
