Tue, 28 July · 10:00 am AEST
A 4-hour in-person workshop in Sydney on building and launching an AI application.
Why attend: You'll learn the practical steps to take an AI app from concept to launch. The workshop covers the core decisions and processes founders use when building AI startups.
Who: This is most useful for people planning to start an AI company or those actively building their first AI product.
A workshop on how to apply artificial intelligence to improve business operations and efficiency.
Why attend: You'll learn practical ways to implement AI across different business functions and industries. The event covers concrete applications rather than theoretical concepts.
Who: Business managers, operations leaders, and anyone responsible for improving efficiency or reducing costs in their organization.
Tue, 28 July · 5:30 pm AEST
A fireside chat in Sydney where VCs discuss their investment criteria and decision-making process for early-stage AI startups.
Why attend: You'll learn what investors actually look for beyond the pitch deck—their red flags, how they evaluate technical feasibility, and what metrics matter at seed stage. Direct access to investor perspectives can help you refine your own strategy, whether you're fundraising or evaluating the landscape.
Who: Founders and technical leads building AI startups, plus early-stage operators considering their next move. Anyone evaluating whether and how to pursue VC funding will find this useful.
AI SYD is a meetup or conference for AI practitioners and enthusiasts in Sydney.
Why attend: You'll connect with other people working on AI projects in your region and learn about what's happening in the local AI community. It's a chance to share work, get feedback, and find collaborators or job opportunities.
Who: Engineers, researchers, product managers, and founders building or interested in AI applications. This is for people already working in or seriously exploring AI, not introductory level.
Wed, 29 July · 10:00 am AEST
A workshop teaching how to use generative AI tools to create business opportunities and improve operations.
Why attend: You'll learn practical ways to apply AI to your specific business challenges and revenue streams. You'll work through real examples of how generative AI can streamline workflows and create new products.
Who: Best for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone looking to integrate AI into their current work or startup.
Wed, 29 July · 2:00 pm AEST
A discussion on how multiple AI agents coordinate and solve problems together, exploring techniques beyond the Model Context Protocol.
Why attend: You'll learn practical patterns for building multi-agent systems that actually work—including communication strategies, task delegation, and failure handling. If you're building or deploying agents in production, you'll get concrete approaches that go beyond theoretical frameworks.
Who: Engineers building multi-agent systems, AI practitioners implementing agent orchestration, and anyone working on production AI applications that need agents to collaborate effectively.
Wed, 29 July · 5:00 pm AEST
An invite-only panel where Sydsol's CEO discusses building solar technology into building windows as a climate solution.
Why attend: You'll hear directly from a founder working on window-integrated solar about the technical and commercial challenges of scaling this technology. The event brings together investors and operators actively funding climate tech, so you can make concrete connections in the space.
Who: Investors in climate tech, founders building in renewable energy, and operators looking to deploy distributed solar solutions.
Thu, 30 July · 1:00 am AEST
Weekly workshop on using AI tools to speed up real estate agent work, from marketing to client follow-up.
Why attend: You'll learn which AI tasks actually save time in agent workflows and see practical examples of faster marketing creation and smarter follow-up systems. You'll meet other agents experimenting with the same tools and share what's working.
Who: Real estate agents looking to reduce time on repetitive tasks and stay competitive with AI-enabled practices.
Thu, 30 July · 6:00 am AEST
A hands-on workshop on safely executing code from language model agents using Docker sandboxes.
Why attend: You'll learn practical techniques for isolating and controlling LLM-generated code execution to prevent security issues and system failures. This is Part 2 of a series, so you'll get deeper technical implementation details beyond conceptual introduction.
Who: Software engineers and ML practitioners building LLM applications who need to safely run agent-generated code in production or development environments.
