Agenda:

5:30 - 6:00 pm | Pizza, Networking & Welcome
Enjoy pizza, drinks, and time to connect with other attendees before a short welcome from the event hosts.

6:00 – 6:25 pm | Talk 1: Agentic Systems Driving AI and Edge Innovation

• Overview: ICP brings together industry, academia, and students to turn AI ideas into workable solutions. This session will spotlight ICP's approach and feature a live showcase of the ICP Agentic Living Laboratory, illustrating how agentic systems help organisations explore and implement AI, IoT, and edge technologies.
• Speaker: Daniel Marrable, Director, Innovation Central Perth

With a PhD in remote sensing and a research background in Earth observation, Daniel's expertise spans data analytics, computer vision, and machine learning for real-world applications. Under his leadership, ICP has become a key hub for digital transformation and collaboration, supporting projects across energy, health, agriculture, and resources.

6:25 - 6:50 pm | Talk 2: New Technologies Enabling Edge AI Inference

• Overview: Neuromorphic computing is a new approach to energy-efficient edge AI, taking inspiration from biological computation. This talk will explore the commercialisation and commercial availability of Neuromorphic devices, and how they can enable low-power edge AI use cases.
• Speaker: Dylan Muir, CEO, LexChip
  Dr Dylan Muir is an experienced tech lead and expert in low-power machine learning and AI, holding a PhD in computational neuroscience. At SynSense, Dylan built the ML/AI applications team and co-designed silicon processor architectures. He founded DataCross, a Swiss NGO for AI and data science, and is now CEO and co-founder of LexChip, a new technology that provides continuous in-device legal oversight for edge and autonomous systems.

6:50 - 7:00 pm | Community Open Mic & Wrap-Up
Take the mic and share with the group - from hardware demos and embedded prototypes to quick AI at the edge announcements, like project showcases, calls for collaboration, and more.
Any further Q&As and chats will happen here.
