DESCRIPTION:

It's finally here. The very first Horizon AI Meetup, and we're kicking things off with two brilliant humans from the Horizon Digital team who are doing genuinely practical AI work every single day.

THE TALKS:

Using AI as a Delivery Lead/PM to Ship Products Quickly and Do QA
Zain, Delivery Lead — Horizon Digital
A practical look at how the Horizon AI team uses AI across the product delivery lifecycle, from requirements and sprint planning through to automated QA. Real tools, real workflows, real lessons.

Harnessing the Power of Agentic AI in Software Delivery
Munsif, Head of AI — Horizon Digital
Munsif leads AI at Horizon AI and dives into how AI agents can move well beyond coding assistance and into your broader delivery workflow. What's working, where humans still need to stay in the loop, and how to start small without overcomplicating it.

🍽️ Light refreshments on the night, brought to you by the Horizon AI team.

Whether you write code for a living, lead a team, or you're just curious about what all the fuss is about, you'll find your people here. This is Horizon AI's way of giving back to Perth's tech community, and we're just getting started. Come along and say hi 👋
