Shipping with AI

Wed, Nov 11, 7:00 AM

4.7

// OVERVIEW The Shipping with AI meetup (formerly UX Design in SaaS) has partnered with the [Outlook AI Conference 2026](https://theoutlook.io/events/outlook-ai) to bring you an in-person evening as part of the conference activities. Shipping with AI is a meetup for designers, product managers and engineers who want to move past the hype and learn how AI is actually being used to build and ship real products. No theory-heavy keynotes. Just demos, real workflows and practical tips you can take back to your team the next day. // WHAT IS HAPPENING Our three speakers come at AI from different angles: delivery in regulated industries, engineering and AI agents, and design quality. They'll each share how their teams are shipping with AI right now. That includes the tools, the workflows, what's working, and what they've learned the hard way. Expect presentations, live demos, Q&A, drinks, food, games, prizes and plenty of time to network. // WHEN 6:00 – 8:30pm, Wednesday 11th November // WHERE Nintex Offices, Level 14, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 // WHY COME ALONG * See it, don't just hear about it. Live demos of real AI workflows, not slides about the future. * Practical takeaways. Tips and tricks you can try with your team straight away. * Three perspectives in one night. Delivery, engineering and design, so you get the full picture of what it takes to ship with AI. * Ask the hard questions. How do you keep AI output on-brand? How do you bring AI into regulated businesses safely? How do you give coding agents the right context? * Meet your people. Connect with Melbourne designers, PMs and engineers working through the same challenges. * It's free, and there's food, drinks and prizes. // OUR SPEAKERS ANASTAS MANOJLOVSKI – Technical Director, Whitefox Cloud Consulting Anastas has spent 20 years where customers, sales and engineering meet.

📚 #InPursuit – A Book Club for Builders, Thinkers, and Doers

Fri, Oct 23, 11:30 PM

From The Entrepreneur Club (Melbourne)

From FREE Life-Improvement Educational Talks!

📚 #InPursuit is a book club for entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds who know personal growth fuels business growth. **See a lot of RSPVPs and wonder how it works? We'll break up into groups of 6-8 to share our insights, then swap groups after 30-45min so you can maximise learning from everybody!** *Note: this even is not organised by or affiliated with The State Library of Victoria* **That's what #InPursuit is all about** It’s not a traditional book club, it’s a space for people who are actively designing a better life through the pursuit of business, creativity, and personal growth. This event is for anyone #InPursuit of better business, life and relationships. Instead of reading the same book, we each come prepared to share one powerful insight from something we’ve read in the past 3-months. Anything non-fiction that’s moved us forward. Whether it’s a mindset shift, a productivity system, a new philosophy, or just a truth that punched us in the gut. This is a place to unpack it together and hear what others are learning too. We’re not just here to *read*. We’re here to *integrate*. Because when we grow, our business and our lives grow too. **🔍 Why Join? You'll leave with:** * 5–10 fresh insights from books you may never have picked up * Deeper awareness of how others think, lead, and evolve * New connections with people walking a similar path toward purpose, results, and impact This isn’t a lecture. It’s a room full of people building themselves while they build the thing. **📖 How It Works** First time? No pressure to share, just come curious. We'll break up into groups of 6-8 and share our insights, then swap groups so you can maximise the learning! Returning? Bring one idea you’ve read about in the last 3-months and be ready to speak on: 1. What did you learn? 2. How did it shift your perspective about the world or yourself? 3. How has it changed the way you show up or behave? We keep it structured, but flexible. After sharing, we open up to Q&A, personal stories, challenges, and deep dives. Some of the best insights come from the conversations *after* the share. **🧠 Who This Is For** * Entrepreneurs or side-hustlers finding their footing * Business owners, and doers building toward better * Curious minds who love ideas but care more about action * People tired of shallow conversations and hungry for growth If you’re working on something—or becoming someone—this space is for you. It’s a practice ground for people who want to grow forward. We’re all #InPursuit of mastery, momentum, and the kind of success that starts from within. **Map on how to get there** We're in the Create Quarter on the ground level (back right of the Quad as you enter from Swanson St). We'll likely be on a long table together. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/SLV-EnglishMap_Jan25.pdf

The Key To Making Money - Free Talk

Tue, Oct 27, 2:00 AM

3.4

Why do we find it hard to make money, while others are flourishing and prospering? Is it just that some were born lucky? No. Do some people just have a natural talent? No. It comes down to the art of communication. One's ability to communicate will determine how successful one will be, not only in business, but life as a whole. We will be covering different avenues of communication, and what you can do to bring change to your life. ------- The talk will go for roughly 45 mins, give or take. We will then proceed to do a Personality Test which will really break down what areas in your life you are lacking in, and can then get the appropriate tools to assist you.

Afterhours- All-inclusive Adult School Camp

Fri, Oct 30, 5:00 AM

Afterhours – Australia’s First & Only All-Inclusive Adult School Camp Remember school camp? Staying up way too late, making random new friends, ridiculous games, laughing until your stomach hurt and forgetting about everything else for a few days? We brought it back — **for adults. 🍻🏕️** Afterhours is an all-inclusive adult school camp in Victoria created for adults who want to get out, meet new people, try new things and have some bloody fun again. And yes — **you can absolutely come alone.** A lot of our campers arrive not knowing anyone. That's actually one of the best parts. Activities, games and social events throughout the weekend are designed to get everyone mixing, so you won't be left awkwardly trying to figure out who to talk to. Expect things like: ⚡ Giant swing & high ropes 🏹 Archery 🔫 Laser tag 🎨 Sip & Paint 🍺 Beer Olympics 🎃 Themed parties 🎤 Karaoke 🎪 Carnival games 🎧 DJs & late nights And plenty of ridiculousness in between Our camps are **18+** and there's no upper age limit. Whether you're coming solo, with your partner, your best mate or bringing the whole group, you're welcome. Our next Afterhours camp is: 📅 **30 October – 2 November 2026** 📍 **Bayview Adventure Park, Grantville VIC** Three nights. Accommodation, meals, drinks (including the bar) activities and entertainment included. **Play like a kid. Party like an adult.** Join the group to meet other potential campers, find out what's coming up and maybe find the people you'll be sharing a very questionable Beer Olympics performance with.
