We are stoked to announce our next **Melbourne MLOps Community Meetup** of the year! We are bringing you an absolute powerhouse lineup featuring two industry heavyweights. We will dive deep into tracking ML/DS performance using high-impact business metrics over raw statistical metrics. We will also tackle the AI coding productivity paradox and the high-stakes build-vs-buy SaaS dilemma. **🎤 Speakers** We’re thrilled to introduce: **\- Nathanael Lampe**, Machine Learning Manager *at* Bunnings Warehouse. Nat is widely recognised as one of the most brilliant, deeply technical data science leaders. He brings an elite background in advanced data science, now driving the core Data Science team at Bunnings. In his talk, *Data & Decisions,* Nat will explain how in ML, we often focus on model accuracy but it’s a lot harder to measure the decisions a model supports. When we can anchor our ML practice in true business metrics, we are better equipped to ensure analytics projects succeed. **\- Javier Candeira**, Fractional CTO *at* Infoplumbing. Javier is a distinguished veteran of the data, software, and tech consultancy scenes. He brings many years of battle-tested technical and business experience to guiding teams through today's volatile AI landscape. His talk titled: *The Buy/Build Dilemma and the Agentic Productivity Paradox* addresses three red-hot issues in the MLOps community: 1\. Local LLM inference and tooling for small scale teams\. What is too much local MLOps for a 1\-5 person shop? Is local inference only a cost saver\, or are there also capabilies unlocked by the finer\-grained control afforded by operating one’s own models? 2\. The Buy/Build dilemma\. This is a question for every company\, from small SaaS to big corporate\. The abundance of LLM coding tools shifts the balance\. How? 3\. The Productivity Paradox: If Agentic Coding and LLM autocomplete are so great\, where are the great new products? Where’s the programmer productivity going? Javier will showcase some of his NixOS-based MLOps-for-one tools, and will attempt to progress the conversation on these three questions with his own reflections based on personal experience. **Networking** The Melbourne MLOps Community is committed to fostering a space where AI/ML engineers and practitioners can connect, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships. Come ready to discuss: * The tools you’re experimenting with * Trends you’re seeing in ML and MLOps * Challenges you’re tackling * Ways to find peer support We’ll have food, drinks, and the perfect space for great conversations — so feel free to bring along anyone interested in ML, MLOps, or AI more broadly. **Agenda** 🍕 **5:30pm** – Networking, drinks & food 🙋 **6:00pm** – Welcome 🎤 **6:10pm** – Presentation by Nathanael ❓ **6:30pm** – Questions for Nathanael 🎤 **6:40pm** – Presentation by Javier ❓ **7:00pm** – Questions for Javier 🍻 **7:10pm onwards** – Networking, drinks & food We’re looking forward to seeing you there! **P.S.** If you can’t make it in person, we’ll be streaming the event via Google Meet.

## 💘 KISMETRIX \| True Connection [Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/july-01-game-on-the-kismetrix-trivia-night-konar-bar-tickets-1991902868099) ### GAME ON — THE KISMETRIX TRIVIA NIGHTDrinks, Banter & Real Connection Hosted by **KISMETRIX \| True Connection** 📍 Konar Bar — Private Dining Room (Downstairs): 483 North Road, Ormond Vic 3204 📅 Thursday, 28 May 2026 🕖 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM (Venue open late) #### BACK. UPGRADED. AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN. Never done trivia? Perfect. Neither has half the room. This isn't about what you know. It's about who you end up laughing with by the end of the night. The KISMETRIX Trivia Night is back — and this year we've stepped it up. We now have our own in-house host and an exclusive private room just for Kismetrix guests. Same great energy from last year, but more intimate, more personal, and a whole lot more fun. No speed dating. No awkward mingling. No standing around with a drink wondering what to say. Just teams, trivia, a bit of friendly rivalry, and the kind of atmosphere where strangers become easy company. #### 💫 ABOUT THE NIGHT Tired of the same old bar scene? Not quite ready for a formal dinner event? This is the sweet spot. KISMETRIX \| True Connection was created for people who want something more human — real conversation\, real presence\, and a genuine good time\. The Trivia Night is our most fun and relaxed format\, and it's exclusively for Kismetrix guests\. You'll walk into a private room full of people who: 🎯 Are open, friendly and easy-going 🎯 Want a fun night out that feels natural — not forced 🎯 Prefer real-life connection over swiping 🎯 Are simply here to enjoy themselves and see where the night goes Come for the trivia. Stay for the laughs. See who you meet along the way. #### 🎯 WHAT TO EXPECT You'll arrive to a private room — no general public, just Kismetrix guests. You'll be placed into a small team of around six, the questions will start, and within ten minutes you'll forget you didn't know anyone when you walked in. Expect: 🎯 A welcome drink waiting when you arrive 🎯 A warm hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost 🎯 Fun, accessible trivia rounds — no expertise required 🎯 Rotating teams through the night so you meet different people across different rounds 🎯 A mystery round (yes, really) 🎯 A prize worth playing for 🎯 Plenty of laughs, friendly arguing, and genuinely good company Our in-house Kismetrix host keeps the energy warm and the night moving — so it always feels like a night out with good people, not a structured event. #### 👥 AGE GUIDE 🎯 30-43 · 40–53 · 50+ Kismetrix Trivia Night is open to all singles who are here for a good time and genuine connection. We provide age groups so you know what to expect from the room. The focus is always on good energy and like-minded people — not strict age gates. If you're slightly outside a range and the format feels right for you, you're welcome to book. #### 🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR This event is for singles who: 🎯 Want a fun, social night out that's a little different 🎯 Are curious about Kismetrix but want a low-pressure way to start 🎯 Love trivia — or have never done it but like the sound of it 🎯 Want to meet new people without it feeling like a "singles event" 🎯 Are open, friendly, and ready for a genuinely good Thursday night Come solo — most people do. You'll be in good company from the moment you walk in. #### 🍽 FOOD & DRINKS Your ticket includes one standard welcome drink on arrival. Konar Bar has a great food and drinks menu available throughout the night, directly from the venue. Perfect if you'd like to make a full evening of it — and many of our guests do. #### 🎟 TICKETS 🎯 Early Bird — $39 🎯 General — $49 🎯 Last Minute — $59 Welcome drink included at every tier. Spots are strictly limited to 7–8 tables to keep the night intimate and social — early booking is strongly recommended. *Last year's event sold out. Don't sit on it.* #### 💡 WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS 🎯 No swiping. No apps. Just real people in a real room 🎯 No awkward formats or forced interactions 🎯 A genuinely fun night — even if you come solo 🎯 Exclusively for Kismetrix guests — private room, warm atmosphere 🎯 Hosted by people who actually care about how the night feels Many guests come "just to try it" — and end up staying all night. #### ✨ WHERE THE TRIVIA NIGHT FITS The KISMETRIX Trivia Night sits alongside our Drinks Socials, Elevated Dinners, and Activity Nights as one of our most fun and accessible formats. If you've been curious about Kismetrix, this is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to experience what we do. #### 🔔 IMPORTANT NOTES 🎯 This is a hosted social experience — not speed dating 🎯 A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue 🎯 Gender balance is carefully aimed for but not always guaranteed 🎯 Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential at all Kismetrix events 🎯 Tickets are non-refundable but transferable #### 🔗 STAY CONNECTED WITH KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION 📧 **social@kismetrix.com.au** 🌐 **[www.kismetrix.com.au](http://www.kismetrix.com.au/ "http://www.kismetrix.com.au")** 📱 Follow us on **[Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/kismetrix_/ "https://www.instagram.com/kismetrix_/"), [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559826808523 "https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61559826808523") & [Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/kismetrix-singles-events-84848288353 "https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/kismetrix-singles-events-84848288353")** 📄 Important Notice: By registering for this event\, you confirm that you have read and agree to Kismetrix \| True Connection's Terms & Conditions\, Privacy Policy\, Disclaimer and Code of Conduct\. 🤝 Collaborations: collabs@kismetrix.com.au
