Come steal these AI-ideas: live AI demos & Agents for People & Talent teams

Thu, Aug 27, 7:00 AM

From Sydney Talent Meetup

4.5

**🎫 🔥 REGISTER here (not via meetup.com) - follow this link:** https://luma.com/sw4rj3l5 Hey folks, If you're like us & working in the talent/people space, you've probably sat through enough "AI is going to change everything" webinars, panels etc to last a lifetime. So much fluff. And not nearly enough actual *"here's HOW"* \- from people who've genuinely built cool sh\!t that works\. We've created this meetup to fix that. Our meetup will showcase real builds & real workflows- from people sharing exactly how they pulled it off. Here's who's showing their work 👇 🛠️ **Joris Luijke** \- Founder/CPO at Pyn *(ex-Atlassian, ex-Squarespace)* Joris will demo various P&C builds he's done himself, AND finally settle the thing we're all quietly confused about: AI vs Automation vs AI Agents - exactly when to use which, and how to actually set it up correctly. You'll leave knowing the difference and he'll also share a tonne of useful resources! 🎨 **Bec Jenkins** \- People Experience & Operations at Canva *(ex-Airtasker)* The real, unfiltered story of how Canva's People/Talent teams are actually using AI - the stuff that stuck, the stuff that flopped, and the gold that came out of their recent AI Hackathon. 🌏 **Yenny Wong** \- Senior Director\, Talent at The Trade Desk *(ex-Google)* Yenny shares how she picks the Talent problems actually worth solving with AI, and shares her process of creating a global "innovation engine" where gets AI adopted across the whole team. Examples of impactful AI builds from the team will also be shared. ⚡ **Andrew Suryanto** \- GTM Engineer & Community Lead at Build Club *(ex-Relevance AI)* The grand finale, and honestly the bit we're super nervous/excited about: **YOU** tell us what to build. We take the most-requested idea, put it in front of Andrew, start a timer and watch him build it with AI/agents **LIVE**. No net, no edits, no take-two. Absolute legend behaviour. Please join us in praying to the demo gods for this one! :D **The important bits:** 📅 Thursday 27 August ⏰ 5:00 - 8:00pm 📍 The Trade Desk, Barangaroo 🎟️ Spots are limited - grab your ticket before we sell out!! **🎫 🔥 REGISTER here (not via meetup.com) - follow this link:** https://luma.com/sw4rj3l5 Come for the builds, stay for the drinks, leave with a to-do list you're genuinely excited about. Massive thanks to our partners making this happen: **Rippling**, **Deel** & **Hola** 🙌 See you there, Sydney! We cannot wait! 🙈 Pam, Emer & Anthony **#NJAMEETUP Crew** **P.S. A little housekeeping...** **No refunds, but easily transferable.** We wish we could, but ticket numbers feed straight into our catering orders - so unfortunately we can't offer refunds. BUT if you can't make it, please feel free to pass your ticket on to a friend! Just drop us a note at **[team@sydneytalentmeetup.com](mailto:team@sydneytalentmeetup.com)** with the name change and we'll sort it out. **A welcome to our partners.** While these meetups are mainly for our internal People & Talent community, we highly value and appreciate our consultants and recruitment partners also - so we've set aside a 5% ticket allocation for you. You're welcome to join and please grab a spot while you can!

Women at the Podium: A One-Day Public Speaking Workshop in Sydney

Mon, Aug 31, 2:00 PM

From Mangates Global Professional Learning Network

**Overview** Build confidence, presence, and influence with practical public speaking, storytelling, and communication skills for women leaders. **Ready to secure your spot? 🎯 Register now and complete your payment securely via Stripe Checkout!** [Click Here](https://buy.stripe.com/8x2bJ1aam1YGeG4aeg2oE43) **Program Details** **Duration**: 1 Full Day (8 Hours) **Delivery Mode**: Classroom (In-Person) **Language**: English **Credits**: 8 PDUs / Training Hours **Certification**: Course Completion Certificate **Refreshments**: Lunch, Snacks, and beverages will be provided during the session. **Every Confident Speaker Has a Day One. This Could Be Yours.** For general enquiries or booking your slot, contact us at: [info@mangates.com](info@mangates.com) +61 (0) 2 80155605 **Course Overview:** **The Moment Before the Words Come Out** She'd rehearsed the pitch a dozen times in her head. But the moment the room went quiet and every eye turned to her, the words came out smaller than she meant them to. That moment is familiar to almost every woman who's ever had something important to say. What's less familiar is what happens after, when she learns exactly how to close that gap between what she knows and what the room actually hears. **A Day That Changes the Next Room You Walk Into** Picture this: a woman walks into a leadership meeting, opens with a real example instead of a disclaimer, holds the room's attention through a tough question, and closes with a message that actually moves people to act. That's not a natural gift. That's a set of specific, learnable skills, and it's exactly what this one-day program is built to teach. **How the Day Unfolds** * **Module 1: Communication Psychology** — She learns why her audience reacts the way it does, and how to read the room before she speaks a word. * **Module 2: Persuasive Messaging** — She restructures her message, layering logic, emotion, and credibility until it actually lands. * **Module 3: Storytelling for Influence** — She turns a personal experience into a message the room won't forget. * **Module 4: Voice and Body Language** — Her posture straightens. Her pace slows. Her voice carries differently. * **Module 5: Engagement and Attention** — She notices the room leaning in, not checking their phones. * **Module 6: Q&A and Pressure Situations** — A tough question comes. She doesn't flinch, she has a framework for exactly this. * **Module 7: Authentic Influence** — She stops performing confidence and starts speaking from what she actually believes. * **Module 8: The Master Speaker's Toolkit** — By the end of the day, she has more than a good feeling. She has a system she can use again and again. **What Changes By the End** Attendees leave able to: * Communicate with confidence, clarity, and professional authority * Design and deliver persuasive, authentic presentations * Demonstrate refined presence through voice, body language, and composure * Navigate tough questions and high-pressure moments with strategic calm * Use storytelling and psychology to inspire real action * Walk away with a personal framework for continued growth **Who Finds Themselves Here** * Women professionals ready to be seen and heard * Women entrepreneurs and business owners pitching ideas or services * Women leaders and managers guiding teams through uncertainty * Women returning to the workforce, rebuilding their voice * Women students, community leaders, and aspiring speakers finding theirs for the first time **This Isn't Watched from the Sidelines** Every attendee speaks, practices, and receives real feedback, live, in the room. She doesn't sit back and take notes while someone else models the skill, she's the one standing at the front, adjusting her pace, catching herself mid-sentence, trying it again until it feels right. What's described above isn't hypothetical, it's what happens to almost everyone who walks through the door. **Bring This to Your Organization** Picture an entire team of women walking into their next high-stakes meeting the same way, prepared, composed, and ready to be heard. This program is available as a customized in-house session, on-site or virtual, with group pricing for organizations ready to build that version of their team together. 📧 Contact us today to schedule a customized in-house session: [corporate@mangates.com](mailto:corporate@mangates.com) **©2026 Mangates Tech Solutions Pvt Ltd. This content is protected by copyright law. Copy or Reproduction without permission is prohibited.** **FAQs** **1\. Do I need any prior public speaking experience to attend?** No, this program is designed for women at every stage, from those who feel anxious speaking up to those refining an already-strong voice. **2\. Will I actually get to practice speaking\, or is this mostly lecture\-based?** You'll speak, practice, and receive real feedback throughout the day. Every module includes guided speaking exercises, not passive listening. **3\. What if I freeze up or panic when asked a tough question?** Module 6 is built exactly for giving you strategic frameworks to stay composed and respond confidently under pressure. **4\. Is this only for senior leaders and executives?** Not at all, the program is designed for professionals, entrepreneurs, managers, students, community leaders, and anyone rebuilding or strengthening their voice. **5\. Will this help me if I need to pitch my business or ideas\, not just speak at work?** Yes, Module 2 and Module 3 focus specifically on persuasive messaging and storytelling, both directly applicable to pitching. **6\. What if my voice or body language undermines my message?** Module 4 addresses this directly covering vocal tone, pacing, posture, and gestures that convey confidence and command attention. **7\. Is this suitable for someone returning to the workforce after time away?** Yes, the program is specifically designed to help rebuild confidence and professional presence, regardless of how long you've been away. **8\. How is authenticity addressed\, since a lot of speaking training feels like "performing"?** Module 7 focuses specifically on aligning your communication with your real values, so your delivery feels genuine, not performed. **9\. Can this be customized for our organization's leadership team?** Yes, group sessions can be tailored to your organization's context and delivered on-site or virtually, with group pricing available. **10\. What do I actually leave with at the end of the day?** A practical framework covering all eight core speaking competencies, real feedback from live practice, and a personal speaking development plan you can build on going forward.

We're welcoming Despina Gavoyannis, AI Search Visibility Strategist at Ahrefs and Vivid Fish, as our keynote speaker. She'll be presenting "How to Level Up from SEO Tactician to Search Visibility Leader." Strong technical and tactical skills can build a career in SEO, but they will only take you so far. Despina will explain how to turn that expertise into strategic influence, communicate the commercial value of search and develop the skills needed to move into more senior, better-paid roles. She'll also look at what businesses need from their search teams as AI changes how people find information. That includes personalisation, keywordless discovery, conversational and spoken search, and the growing role of wearable AI. You'll leave with practical ideas you can share with your team and start using at work the next day. Despina has worked in SEO for more than 10 years, specialising in revenue-driven strategy and collaborating with UX designers, developers and marketers. Before joining Ahrefs, she worked as an SEO consultant, advising and training in-house and agency teams. Her work has helped brands generate more than $125 million in additional annual organic revenue.
