Inaugural Melbourne E&U Data Connect
Thoughtworks Australia Pty. Ltd., Lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the East Kulin Nation, Level 35/360 Collins St, Melbour, Melbourne, AUWelcome to the first Energy & Utilities Data Connect Melbourne meetup!
This group is all about bringing energy & utilities professionals together to share real-world data + AI wins, lessons learned, and what’s actually working across the industry.
The idea is simple: a regular, in-person evening where people working on real energy and utilities data problems can share what they are building, what worked, and what did not. Expect practical talks grounded in actual use cases (e.g., grid and asset data, forecasting, smart meter and time-series data, field operations, AI on operational data), followed by time to talk to people who understand the problems you are working on.
For this first one we are keeping it simple - a short intro to what the group is about, one or two talks, and plenty of time to meet each other.
You'll have an opportunity to hear from Jade Forsberg, Data Modernisation Lead from Thoughtworks. She will cover how your platform’s ROI is not realised when it ships; it is realised when teams choose it, trust it and make it part of how they work.
Who should come:
- Data engineers, analysts, scientists and architects in energy, utilities and water
- Data and platform leaders shaping strategy in the sector
- Anyone curious about how the industry is actually using data and AI (all experience levels welcome)
Huge thank you to Thoughtworks for hosting us at their Melbourne office!
Hope to see you there!
