EUXSyd - August Meetup

Thu, Aug 20, 8:00 AM

From Enterprise UX - Sydney

4.6

**Excited to have our next EUXSyd kicking off in August with** Snr Product Designer from Nuix, Ermi Mendoza-Isais, speaking on "**Storytelling, Influencing & AI Design."** In this talk, Ermi walks through the three skills she’s discovered has made her standout as a product designer and leader: storytelling that turns data into decisions, influence that moves ideas from Figma (or other no-code tool) to roadmap, and AI fluency that accelerates your craft without ever replacing your judgement. Drawing on real-world experience embedding AI into design practice at scale, you'll come away with practical, actionable ways to sharpen your narrative, build genuine buy-in across teams, and harness AI as a true creative partner. With over 26 years of design experience spanning AI, product, and research, Ermi has driven innovation across fintech, data, retail, and transport, most recently pioneering the integration of AI into design workflows. At Nuix, she championed an AI-first approach — using AI as a genuine design partner to rapidly prototype and validate concepts — while co-leading strategic initiatives, mentoring designers, and partnering across engineering, sales, and marketing to deliver end-to-end product design, research, and branding for SaaS, fintech, and transport products. A regular speaker on design leadership, career growth and AI adoption, Ermi brings a proven track record of leading design transformation and delivering customer-validated outcomes that make a real impact. We are in the process of finalising a venue and will advise you all soon. Networking, drinks and pizzas will start from 6:00 and talk will start at 6:30pm. Look forward to seeing you there!! This event is proudly sponsored by Experience Design "UX" Agency blueegg ([www.blueegg.com.au](www.blueegg.com.au))

Placeholder with Satya Chunduru #85

Thu, Aug 20, 2:30 AM

From Architecting for Innovation

4.5

In this Lunch & Learn, **Satya Chunduru** will explore why **AI is the missing link in modern architecture**. Most organisations don’t struggle to build AI pilots — they struggle to **scale them** and turn them into **measurable business value**. Satya’s **3A™ Framework (Adoptive AI Architecture)** was created to bridge that gap. It connects **strategy, data, enterprise knowledge, decisions, operating models, and AI‑enabled actions** into a coherent architecture that delivers real outcomes. The framework acts as both a **reference architecture** and a **thinking model**, designed to complement existing enterprise delivery, governance, and transformation practices. Over the coming weeks, I’ll share more about the thinking behind the framework and the practical components that support **scalable, accountable AI adoption**.

From transaction to insight to agent

Thu, Aug 27, 7:30 AM

From Sydney Databricks User Group

4.5

Operational data used to live in one world and analytics in another — separated by brittle ETL, hours of latency, and a copy of your data you couldn't trust. This month we're closing that gap. We've got a hands-on look at Lakebase and the Lakehouse working as one system, a talk from the team at Slalom, and - because the best answers in this group usually come from the room rather than the stage — a proper open round where we crowdsource solutions to whatever people are actually stuck on right now. Slalom are hosting us, and there will be pizza and drinks. Come hungry, come with a problem you'd like to discuss or just help others to brainstorm on theirs! **🎤** **Talk 1 — Closing the operational/analytical gap with Lakebase and Lakehouse** **Speaker: [Vysnavi Mohan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/vysnavi-mohan/), Databricks** Operational data used to live in one world and analytics in another — separated by brittle ETL, hours of latency, and a copy of your data you couldn't trust. We close this gap with Lakebase and Lakehouse. We write live application state into Lakebase, Databricks' managed Postgres transactional engine, and watch it sync automatically into Unity Catalog as a governed Delta table — no pipelines to babysit, no reverse-ETL tax. On top of that synced table we've built an analytics view that serves fresh insights the moment a transaction lands. You'll walk away knowing: * Where Lakebase fits next to the Lakehouse, and what it's *not* for * How the managed sync into Unity Catalog actually behaves — and what governance you inherit for free * What it takes to serve analytics off live application state, without a pipeline in the middle **🎤 Talk 2** - **Grounded, Governed, Useful: Enterprise AI Agents on Databricks** **Speaker: [Morty Mahzoon](https://www.linkedin.com/in/morteza-mahzoon/), Slalom.** Morty will share some exciting things Slalom team are working on, including Genie, Omnigent, Knowledge Bases and more! AI agents are easy to prototype, but much harder to make accurate, secure and useful at enterprise scale. This session explores how Databricks capabilities such as Unity AI Gateway, Genie Ontology, knowledge bases and Omnigent can help organisations build governed agents grounded in trusted data and business context. **🧠 Open round** \- what are you actually stuck on? The part we keep hearing people come back for. We go around the room, collect the real problems people are wrestling with this quarter - migration pain, governance sprawl, streaming costs, a model nobody trusts, whatever it is - and put them to the group. Someone here has almost certainly solved your problem already. Bring one problem you'd genuinely like a second opinion on. No slides needed, no need to have it figured out. **Call for speakers** Want to talk at a future meetup? We're always after speakers — 10-minute lightning talks count, and first-timers are very welcome. Comment below or message the organisers!

Automate Your Business with AI Agents — AI OS Build Day

Fri, Aug 28, 11:30 PM

From Western Sydney Tech Innovators

4.8

This is a paid event. There is a limited number of Early Bird tickets at $149 until 14th August, after which the Standard Ticket price is $249. **"I'm ready to automate my business and build AI Agents — not just hear about them."** Sound familiar? You're ready for the next step. In this full-day flagship, you'll set up a **Business AI OS** — the foundational system that holds a business's context, memory, and tool connections, and powers every AI Agent that runs on it. By the end of the day, you'll have built **two example AI Agents** on a Business AI OS (Operations in the morning, Social Media Automation in the afternoon), seen how they reinforce each other, and walk out with the option to book a free 1-hour follow-up consultation to map your next step. **What You'll Walk Out With** * **A working Business AI OS** set up on a real business scenario — the foundational layer that everything else builds on * **Two example AI Agents** running on the Business AI OS — Operations in the morning, Social Media Automation in the afternoon * **Hands-on experience** with how Agentic AI workflows reinforce each other and compound productivity * **A deeper foundation** in what makes Agentic AI work for a small and medium business owner * **An optional free 1-hour AI consultation** with our Young AI Engineers — to map out your next step **Who This Is For** * SME owners and founders ready to invest a full day building hands-on with Agentic AI * Small and medium business owners wanting to set up the foundational system that everything else builds on * Anyone curious about how Western Sydney businesses are already running on Agentic AI **What to Expect** * **Background** — what a Business AI OS is and why it's the foundation of running on Agentic AI * **Demo** — a live walk-through of a Business AI OS in action * **Two Hands-on Projects** — set up the Business AI OS in the morning (with an example Operations Agent), extend it with example Social Media Automation in the afternoon, all on a real business scenario * **Lunch + Networking** — meet other Western Sydney founders running on AI Agents * **Next Steps** — share-back and the option to book your free 1-hour AI consultation with our Young AI Engineers **Run on AI Agents Series — July 2026** * **Sat 8 Aug** · Automate Your Business Operations with AI Agents * **Sat 15 Aug** · Automate Your Content Creation and Social Media with AI Agents * **Sat 22 Aug** · Automate Your Marketing & Sales with AI Agents * **Sat 29 Aug** · Automate Your Business with AI Agents — AI OS Build Day *(full-day flagship)* **FAQ** * *What is a Business AI OS?* Think of it like a personal AI operating system for the business owner — the foundational layer that knows the business (context, knowledge, memory) and connects to your tools, so it can spawn the right AI Agent for whatever task needs doing. One foundation, many possibilities. * *Do I need to know anything about AI before I come?* The Build Day moves faster than the 2-hour tasters. We recommend attending at least one June taster first if you're brand new to AI — but it's not required. * *Do I need to bring a laptop?* No — WSTI provides a workstation for project activity. Bring your own if you'd like to keep tinkering afterward. * *What platform do you use?* We work with Claude Code and Claude Cowork — the same approach can be applied with other Agentic AI tools and platforms too. * *Do I need an AI licence to join?* No — WSTI provides everything you need to use during the workshop. * *Is lunch included?* Yes. * *What's the free 1-hour AI consultation?* After Build Day, every attendee is offered an optional 1-hour follow-up consultation — a chance to talk about your actual business, get personalised guidance, and map out the right next step. Take it up if it's useful; no pressure if not. ### **Notice of Photography and Filming** By entering this event, you acknowledge that photography, audio, and video recording may occur. Your attendance constitutes your consent to be photographed, filmed, and/or recorded and to the release, publication, exhibition, or reproduction of such media for promotional purposes by Western Sydney Tech Innovators (WSTI).
