Sydney Forge Your Strength Iron Souls Social

We are hosting a casual get-together for the Sydney Iron Souls community to step away from the rack and spend some time getting to know each other outside of our training sessions. Whether you are a seasoned powerlifter or just starting to find your footing in the sport, this is a space to chat about lifting, share experiences, or simply connect with others who share a similar interest in strength training. We find that the best part of this community is the people, so we wanted to put together an afternoon where we can talk about more than just personal bests and training blocks. The event will be held in a relaxed environment where you can drop in for a drink, grab a bite, and meet some familiar faces or make new friends within the local lifting scene. There is no agenda and no pressure to perform, just a chance to hang out with a group of people who enjoy working hard. We look forward to seeing some new and regular faces there, so if you are in the area and want to catch up, please let us know you are coming by clicking the RSVP button below so we have an idea of numbers.

Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money

**Sydney Money Club — FIRE, Saving, Investing & Everything Money** One of our members suggested we have a session on the FIRE movement — Financial Independence, Retire Early — so let’s give it a go. We’ll spend some time talking about FIRE: what it is, whether it’s realistic, saving rates, investing and the trade-offs involved. Then we’ll open it up into a completely free-form money discussion — what are you saving for, how are you saving, what are you investing in, what do you want to understand better? We also have a couple of stocks we are going to talk about as requested by members. If you have any you're curious about, please put them in the event chat. **No assumed knowledge whatsoever.** Beginners are very welcome. I work as a share analyst, so I’m very happy to talk about shares and investing all day long, but this isn’t intended to be a lecture. Bring whatever money questions or subjects interest you and we’ll see where the conversation goes. We’ll keep this one small — around 5–10 people — and grab a table at the pub for a relaxed chat over drinks and nibbles.

Machine Learning to mRNA: How I Built a Personalised Cancer Vaccine for My Dog

**Speaker bio:** * Paul Conyngham is the founder of Gamgee, a Y Combinator company developing personalised mRNA cancer vaccines for dogs. After 17 years in machine learning, Paul taught himself genomics and used AI to design a personalised vaccine for his dog Rosie, whose responsive tumours shrank by 50–75%. **Presentation outline:** \- Rosie’s cancer and why existing treatments were not enough \- Using AI to cross from machine learning into genomics \- The journey from tumour sequencing to an administered mRNA vaccine \- What worked\, what failed and what one patient can teach us \- Turning a year\-long manual process into repeatable software \- Why Gamgee is starting with dogs and where the technology goes next * Join our community on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/groups/14297125/ to stay up-to-date on all our upcoming events We are grateful to our new hosts and sponsors the Centre for Business Intelligence and Data Analytics (BIDA) at the Business School, University of Technology, Sydney

Online Photography - The letter C

SSP TUE...CENTENNIAL PARK

We will meet with nature and birds. **Helpful information for you to consider:** A telephoto lens is recommended for this event and a digital mirrorless or SLR would be handy. A focal length of 200mm or more is recommended for bird photography. I find shutter priority setting of 1/500th or faster on auto ISO will heed good results. You may find autofocus and shutter speed around 5 to 10 frames per burst will work well. Stan and I look forward to your company on the day We will meet at Centenial Homestead and . More details to come later.

Building AI Agents That Remember, Reason, and Act

Hello Amazonians, For our next AWS Sydney Meetup, **MongoDB** and **PolarSeven** are bringing together two practical talks exploring what it takes to build AI agents for real-world environments! **🎤 Hear from:** **Mark Sailba, Senior Solutions Architect @ MongoDB** *Building AI Agents That Remember, Reason, and Act* *AI agents are moving beyond simple prompt-and-response experiences, but getting them to reliably complete real-world tasks requires more than a capable model. In this session, we’ll explore the architecture behind production-ready agents: how memory and context help agents maintain continuity, how data and tools enable meaningful action, and how governance, observability, and state management support secure operation at scale. Using AWS and MongoDB, we’ll share practical patterns for building agents that can remember what matters, reason over enterprise context, and act with confidence.* **Florian Huebscher, Cloud Support Engineer @ PolarSeven** *Talk title TBC* After the talks, stick around for networking, pizzas, and drinks with the local AWS Sydney User Group community! 🍻🍕🤤 **Agenda:** 17:30 - Arrive & drinks 18:00 - Introductions 18:05 - Talk 1: *Building AI Agents That Remember, Reason, and Act* Mark Sailba, Senior Solutions Architect @ MongoDB 18:35 - Talk 2: *TBC* Florian Huebscher, Cloud Support Engineer @ PolarSeven 19:05 - Networking, food, and drinks! 🍻🍕 **Event details:** 🗓️ Date: Wed, 7 October 2026 🕕 Time: 6:00 PM 📍 Location: Level 8/2 Market St, Sydney NSW 2000 *(Please enter via Kent St to access the building).* RSVP now to save your spot.

SSP: BIRD PHOTOGRAPHY: BIRD HIDE HOMEBUSH BAY

After a recent trip to the Bird Hide at Homebush Bay, I thought a morning photo session may heed better results. Birds are generally more active in the early morning hours and the light at this location would be ideal for photography. I would recommend a telephoto lens of 300mm or more to achieve better results. The meetup point is the bird hide at 7.30 am and parking is available near the Archery car park. It is a short walk from there to the bird hide. Please read the parking restrictions and make your own decision regarding that. Coffee and morning tea location after the event to be decided by the participants on the day.
