About us
We're a multi-city network, started in Sydney and now expanding to Melbourne, Perth, and beyond – where AI meets hardware.
We explore, share, and shape Edge AI and embedded systems for real-world applications.
Our meetups bring together engineers, founders, academics, and other enthusiasts through expert talks, demos, and open mics – with plenty of opportunities to connect.
We dive into topics such as:
- AI Technologies: GenAI, LLMs, Deep Learning, Machine Vision
- Edge Computing: Embedded CPUs (x86, ARM, RISC-V)
- System-on-a-Chip (SoC): FPGA SoCs, MPUs, MCUs, ASICs
