AI & Society — Melbourne: Australia’s New AI Plan | Relaxed End of Year Event

AI & Society – Melbourne | December
📅 Thursday, 4 December
🕠 5:30pm – 8:30pm AEST
📍 Bobbie Peels, 351 Queensberry St, North Melbourne VIC 3051

Join us for a relaxed, end-of-year social gathering to close out 2025 with good conversation, new connections, and a light exploration of Australia’s newly released National AI Plan.
This is a small-group, predominantly social event — designed as a chance to unwind, meet others across the Melbourne AI & Society community, and chat informally about how Australia’s AI direction might shape work, capability, trust and civic life in the years ahead.
We’ll keep the structure simple:
– Casual arrivals from 5:30pm
– Light nibbles provided (table reserved)
– Open conversation about the AI Plan and what stands out
– An easy interactive reflection activity
– Plenty of time to connect and relax
It’s a busy time of year, so consider this a gentle pause — a moment to reflect, reset and enjoy thoughtful company before the holidays.
Who it’s for:
Anyone curious about how Australia’s new National AI Plan intersects with work, innovation, community and the future of AI in Australia.
