**Details**

Brr, it is cold - but Data Science Melbourne doesn't stop and is back for its July edition. We have two incredible topics and two accomplished speakers who will share their wisdom with us. Come to see a live demo of how to build an Agentic RAG AI system, and learn from an inspiring leader on how to lead authentically with curiousity.

**Our first topic**

*Building an Agentic AI System*
In this session we will explore how to build a lead Agentic RAG system - that enhances traditional RAG with a dynamic agent capable of making decisions and selecting tools. Including a live demo of how to build AI Agents using n8n solution.

**Our first speaker**

[Bilal Farooq](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sasistician/) is a data science leader with over 15 years of global experience driving business value through AI, machine learning, and most recently, Generative AI. He is currently working as a Senior Manager Data Science at Woolworths.

**Our second topic**

*From Code to Cure: A Curious Leader’s Journey in a Changing World*
In this talk, Milica will share how a spark of curiosity launched a global career across defense, utilities, retail, and biotech; and how she has navigated constant technological change while balancing leadership with family commitments across continents and cultures. What has worked for her and more importantly what hasn’t. It’s a story of courage, compassion and the power of staying curious.

**Our second speaker**

[Dr. Milica Ng](https://www.linkedin.com/in/milicang/) is the Senior Director and Global Head of Data Science at CSL, a leading biopharmaceutical company. With a background in computer engineering, international IT consulting, and a PhD in bioinformatics, Dr. Ng has been instrumental in integrating data science into drug discovery and development processes.
