Cracking the Black Box within the Platform Economy

'The Platform Economy' roundtable focuses on personal data rights and the consumer experience amidst the rise of the Platform Economy.

About The Melting Pot

The Melting Pot is Scotland's Centre for Social Innovation and one of the oldest coworking communities in the world. We offer freelancers, remote workers, small businesses and large organisations flexible, safe and creative solutions for this new era of working.

We offer regular events for our community, from exciting talks with Scotland’s leading Social Innovators to practical help with your business. We love helping people meet, learn and connect so we make sure almost all our events are open to everyone.

Note : We know £8 might be a bit of a surprise to attend an event, but there’s a social innovation purpose to this price. We don’t only need to cover our staffing and preparatory costs for external events; we also reinvest a percentage of event profits back into fostering social innovation and impact in Scotland. Your ticket price, as well as any coworking membership or venue hire request, enables us to do that.
