### **🏃‍♀️ The Plan**

We’ll do a relaxed 5km return run (or walk!) along Brisbane’s scenic Riverwalk to New Farm Park and back.

### **☕ Why We Do It**

We might geek out on AI — but we’re also here for real-world connection.
One step, one conversation, one coffee at a time.
Bring your curiosity, comfy shoes, and good energy.

### **🎤 Bonus: Jog-and-Talk Video**

I’ll be filming a short “jog-and-talk” asking:
**“What did you learn this week in AI?”**
Join in, listen in, or just enjoy the vibes.

### **Exploring AI’s Role in Society – Beyond the Tech**

After six months of growing momentum in Brisbane and a warm welcome in Melbourne, I’m excited to bring **AI & Society** to Sydney!

This is our very first event in the city — a relaxed, informal gathering designed to spark connections and conversations among people who care about how AI is reshaping society.

Whether you're deep in the tech world or simply curious about the social, ethical, or cultural implications of AI, this is a space to share ideas, ask questions, and connect with others across disciplines.
We’re not running talks or panels this time — just open discussion and meaningful networking. It’s a chance to hear what’s happening locally, learn what matters most to you, and explore whether we build a regular AI & Society community here in Sydney.

Future events may include keynote speakers, interactive workshops, and deep dives into AI's impact across sectors like education, health, governance, design, creativity and more.

If you want to be part of something new — and help shape it — come join us.
