Community Assembly - AI & Data Centres
Artificial intelligence and data centres are reshaping how we live, work, and use energy. Right now, the Federal Government is asking for input to influence how this important technology shapes our future.
This is a real opportunity for community voices to reach the people making decisions about our collective future. The problem is that formal consultation processes can feel inaccessible; full of technical jargon, unclear on process, and easy to scroll past.
That's exactly why we're running this community assembly.
Rather than feeling overwhelmed or just venting into the void, come and do something about it. This is a free, volunteer-run, in-person session designed to give you:
* Context — a plain-English overview of the inquiry and what's at stake for our communities, environment, and economy
* Space — a safe, welcoming environment for open discussion, whatever your background or level of expertise
* Support — practical guidance to help you formulate and submit your own perspective directly to the inquiry.
No technical expertise required. Just curiosity and a willingness to have your say.
We believe that diverse perspectives lead to richer outcomes, and on something as consequential as AI and data centres, we need as many of them as possible! Come and help shape a future we can all look forward to.

Pure Consciousness Revealed: Nirvana Shatakam Workshop
**Nirvana Shatakam – Shankara's Six Verses on Freedom**
Most spiritual paths tell you to become something. This teaching does the opposite.
Through six ancient verses by Adi Shankara, you discover who you are by removing what you're NOT – the body, mind, and roles you play. What remains is your limitless nature that was always here.
Over seven months, we'll unpack these verses line by line, transforming how you see yourself and your life.
**What You'll Learn**
* How you mistake yourself for body, mind, emotions, and roles
* Why self-knowledge differs from self-improvement
* Why you've never actually been bound – and what keeps that recognition hidden
* What it means to recognise yourself as the sought, not the seeker
**About the Teacher**
Andre Vas teaches Vedanta full-time under the Swami Dayananda (Arsha Vidya) lineage. As a former business owner, he relates deeply to householders juggling work, family, and inner growth. Known for making knowledge stick through lived experience, not just concepts.
**Who This Is For**
No prior background needed. For anyone noticing that acquiring more, achieving more, or becoming better doesn't stick. For those with burning curiosity and a hunger to know, understand, and live this wisdom. **I'll set up group discussions also to help us make new friends.**
**When & Where**
📅 2:00-4:00pm Melbourne time
📍 3 Anjaya Court, Blackburn, Melbourne

Depth, discovery and discussion: Artificial Intelligence
**We're bringing you a new series in 2026: *Depth, Discovery and Discussion*.**
Girls Who Boss Melbourne is creating a space for real talk, shared wisdom and genuine connection — and you’re invited.
This new series is all about coming together as a community to explore meaningful topics in a way that feels safe, intentional and refreshingly honest.
This month's theme? **Artificial intelligence** \- it's on our mind\, and in the copies of the Harvard Business Review we read\, and it's time we talked about it\. The uses for it\, the fears around it\, the ethics and all\.
This isn’t a speech, seminar or expert-led workshop. It’s a guided conversation shaped by all of us. Girls Who Boss will bring a set of thoughtful prompts and questions to spark dialogue, but the insight will come from the stories, perspectives and lived experiences we each bring to the table.
Expect a day of:
✨ Deep chats without the pressure
✨ Discovery through shared perspectives
✨ Discussion that feels grounding, supportive and fun
✨ Connecting with women who want to grow, reflect and boss up together
Whether you come with something on your mind or simply want to listen and connect, this is a space for curiosity, vulnerability and community-led learning.
Come join the conversation — we can’t wait to dive deeper with you.

Stop Guessing: A Product Person's Guide to AI Adoption
## 🤝 Host Information
A co-hosted event by ProductTank Columbus & Women in Product Columbus
💡 About the Workshop
AI adoption is stalling across organizations — not because of a lack of motivation or tools, but because it's fundamentally a behavior design challenge.
This hands-on workshop applies proven Behavior Design models and methods to help you move from a vague organizational wish to boost AI adoption to 3-5 concrete, testable interventions you can act on starting tomorrow.
Whether you're a product manager, on a product team, or just someone trying to get AI to actually stick at work, you'll leave with a clear picture of what's worth focusing on, what to ignore, and how to drive real, sustained adoption — no guesswork required.
🛠️ What to Bring
Laptop: Fully charged and ready to go.
AI Assistant: Have your favorite AI assistant pulled up. (Dom will be using Claude, but feel free to use whichever assistant you prefer!)
🍕 Logistics & Perks
Food & Drink: Pizza and drinks provided!
Parking: Plenty of free spaces available on-site.
