Melbourne AI Startup Showcase & Networking — November Edition

# 🌐 All presentations and discussions will be in English.

### 💡 Ideas · Products · Stories · Feedback · Connections

Curious about the AI products and startups being built in Melbourne?
Join AI founders, product builders, investors and tech professionals for an evening featuring three AI startup projects, live demos and open conversation.
Each project will have approximately 20 minutes, including a product demo and audience Q&A, to share its founding story, product approach, use of AI and progress so far.
This is a relaxed community showcase, with a focus on sharing real products and gathering feedback rather than formal fundraising pitches. It’s a space for builders to share their work, exchange ideas and connect with people in Melbourne’s AI community.
