6:10–6:35 PM - Talk 1: Ivy Fiecas - Consultant @ SoftwareOne Australia on AI‑Powered Offline Contract Analyzer.

6:35–6:45 PM: Break – Connect with someone new!
6:45–7:45 PM - Talk 2: Talk Writing Workshop with PyConAU. Do you have a Python talk idea but you're not quite sure how to bring it to life? Perhaps you've built something cool, contributed something you're proud of, or you want to teach a topic you've been learning about! Giving a talk at MelbPy, or at PyCon AU 2026 is a great way to share your knowledge and tell your story! Bring your laptop.
