**GET YOUR TICKETS FROM THIS LINK:** [https://events.humanitix.com/fishburners-ai-pitch-night](https://events.humanitix.com/fishburners-ai-pitch-night) ### This is how Fishburners is opening 2026. AI is no longer just a trend. AI is the core infrastructure of the next decade’s most successful startups. At Fishburners, we aren’t just watching the shift, we are providing the platform for the founders actually building it. Following the momentum of the Female Founder Pitch Night, we are gathering the **highest-signal AI startups in the country** for a night of technical excellence, commercial ambition, and direct investor engagement. On May 28th, Fishburners is hosting the AI Pitch Night. This is a deliberate showcase of the founders moving beyond the hype to build real, scalable, and defensible AI companies. This night is about founders who are building. Founders who are raising. Founders who are ready to be seen, backed, and taken seriously. *** ### **What this event is** A curated pitch night hosted by **Fishburners**, Australia’s largest startup community, in partnership with **Chartered Accountants ANZ, Vanta, and HubSpot.** The best Australian AI startups will pitch in front of a room specifically vetted for high-level investors, operators, and ecosystem leaders. This is not a night for judging from the sidelines, it is a night for backing the future of Australian tech. Come and see real founders, real companies, and real opportunity. *** ### **Why this night matters** Fishburners has supported over **35,000 entrepreneurs** and helped startups raise **$1B+** This event isn't just about a 5-minute slide deck; it’s about the convergence of technical talent and the institutional support required to win globally. #### The last Founders who pitched did far more than just participate... They raised capital. They won awards. They built real traction. This pitch night is the front door. *** ### **Want to Pitch?** Apply to Pitch here: [https://airtable.com/appM3HBc3eoPUC7xv/pagFa5ESY38lwaOAW/form](https://airtable.com/appM3HBc3eoPUC7xv/pagFa5ESY38lwaOAW/form) *** ### **Who should be in the room** **AI Founders** * **Apply to pitch** if you are building an AI startup and are ready to put it in front of the country's most active investors. **Investors & Ecosystem Leaders** * Attend to discover vetted AI talent early. * Engage with the founders building at the frontier. * Connect with the partners providing the infrastructure for AI growth. *** ### **What you get from attending** * Live pitches from Australias most ambitious AI startups * Direct exposure to founders ahead of the next Ascent Project cohort * Connection with Australia’s startup ecosystem in a focused, high-signal environment * A clear view of where Fishburners is taking its platform in 2026 *** ### **Event details** **Date:** May 28, 2026 **Time:** 6:00 – 8:30pm **Location:** The Collider, 477 Pitt Street, Sydney *** ### **What to do next** * **Supporters and investors:** Register and be in the room. * **Everyone:** Share this with a founder who should be on stage.

From Sensors to Decisions: Real-World Energy Data Pipelines

From Sensors to Decisions: Real-World Energy Data Pipelines

Wed, May 27, 7:30 AM
From Energy & Utilities Data Connect Sydney

Join us for an evening of practical, in-the-trenches talks from teams building modern energy data platforms. We’ll explore how OT data from SCADA, OSI PI, and PLCs is streamed into the lakehouse and turned into AI-powered, self-service analytics for a mission-critical NSW electricity distributor. **Who should attend?** Data engineers, architects, analysts, and ML practitioners working in or alongside the energy and utilities sector - including generation, networks, retail, regulatory, and OT engineering. Curious newcomers are very welcome. Both sessions are highly practical, focused on real systems, trade-offs, and lessons learned. **Talk 1: From Dashboards to Dialogue - Taking AI/BI Genie to Production** **Speaker**: [Rajat Naik](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rajat-naik-4535855b/), Essential Energy With 60 active report requests, 4–6 week BI delivery cycles, and strict regulatory timelines, the traditional reporting model couldn’t keep up with the speed of transformation Essential Energy is going through. Their solution: deploying Databricks AI/BI Genie as a production-grade interface for 50+ stakeholders across finance, operations, compliance, and program leadership. Under the hood: * Unity Catalog–governed semantic layer with 8 domain models and 120+ validated metrics * Sub-second query performance over 1.4 TB of data * Near real-time data sharing between AWS and Azure using Delta Sharing What you’ll learn: * A reference architecture for governed self-service analytics in regulated environments * How to enforce row-level security, column masking, and lineage for natural language queries * Why they didn’t wait for a “perfect” dimensional model - and what they shipped instead **Talk 2: The OT Data Ingestion Stack - Streaming Sensor Data into the Lakehouse** **Speaker**: [Pravin Varma](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pravin-varma/), Databricks Getting OT data into the lakehouse often means building and maintaining complex Kafka pipelines. This talk introduces three open-source connectors that simplify the process: * Ignition Zerobus Connector - real-time streaming of tag changes * OSI PI Lakeflow Connector - pull-based sync of high-value PI tables (a licensing alternative to AVEVA Connect) * Unified OT Client - Docker-based edge gateway with ISA-95 normalization and store-and-forward buffering Bonus: an OT Data Simulator spanning 16 industries, 7 PLC vendors, and 379 physics-based sensors - ideal for testing when live data isn’t available. **Event Details** Date: 27 May Time: 5:30 PM Location: NCS Sydney Office, Level 4, 10 Shelley St, Barangaroo Huge thanks to NCS for hosting!
