Where are we now, what can we do, and where are we heading?
AI is no longer coming, it is here.

Join us for the first Gold Coast Design Thinking event as we explore what it really means to design in an AI enhanced world. From creative augmentation to vibe coding, from emerging AI tools to the risks and ethics of implementation, this event brings together perspectives from across the design and technology spectrum.

What to Expect
An evening of insight, conversation, and connection with the Gold Coast’s creative and tech community, with three speaker presentations, followed by a panel discussion:

  • Ash Donaldson | Tobias – AI and the Design Landscape
    How AI is reshaping the design process, what is emerging, and where human creativity still matters most.
  • Rob Napier | Cloudcase – AI in Practice + Vibe Coding
    Exploring tools, workflows, and creative methods transforming design today, from automation to experimental coding.
  • Royce & Ollie | BCOM – AI, Cybersecurity and Risk
    How to embrace AI responsibly while protecting data, trust, and users.
  • Panel discussion and audience Q&A: Where are we now, and where are we heading?

Stick around after the talks for food, drinks, and networking.
