**(Venue open later)**
***
## **A RELAXED SATURDAY NIGHT WHERE CONNECTION HAPPENS NATURALLY**
**Sometimes the best conversations don’t start with a question…**
**They start with something to do.**
**This is a social night built around billiards, drinks and easy interaction — where meeting new people feels natural, not forced.**
**No swiping.**
**No awkward speed rounds.**
**No pressure to perform.**
**Just a room of like-minded singles showing up, enjoying the moment, and seeing what unfolds.**
***
## **👥 AGE GROUPS (GUIDED, NOT RESTRICTIVE)**
**To help create comfortable and natural conversations, we’ll have two general age groups on the night:**
**• 25–35**
**• 35–50**
**Guests will be gently grouped around tables at the start of the evening, with the freedom to move and mingle as the night progresses.**
**This keeps the atmosphere structured enough to feel easy — without being rigid.**
***

**• Are open to meeting others in real life**
**• Prefer conversation over endless texting**

**• Are simply looking for a better way to connect**
**Line up a shot.**
**Share a laugh.**
**Start a conversation.**
**Sometimes that’s all it takes.**
***
## **🎯 WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR**
**This event is for singles who:**
**• Enjoy relaxed, social environments**
**• Prefer something interactive over sitting across a table**
**• Are open to meeting new people — without pressure**

**• Entry to the curated KISMETRIX social night**
**• Access to billiards tables throughout the event**
**• Hosted support to help you ease in and connect**

## **🌱 A NOTE FOR THIS EVENT**
**This is one of our first events in the Bundoora area.**
**If you’ve been curious about Kismetrix but haven’t made it into the city — this is a more relaxed, local way to experience it.**
***
## **✅ WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS**
**No apps. No swiping. Just real people**

❤**ANIME:** TBA

❤**TIME:** Meet at 3:00PM for 3:30PM START \*arrivals after 4.30pm must be pre-organised

**THE PLAN:** Arrivals take place from 3:00pm for a 3:30pm start!! We encourage you to mingle before our announcements> ice breakers and games > watch party > raffles > close. We will then head to Melb Central for dinner and some quick games afterwards.
We encourage our members to support anime artists and producers by purchasing their movies or any full series should they wish to watch the endings.
**Some insight for newer members:**
It's a natural process to feel a little anxious attending a large event you have never experienced before. During sign ins our hosting team will naturally be busy however our meet & greet volunteers will do their best to say 'Hello' to everyone and perhaps connect you to others. If for some reason this does not happen (because it's really busy), don't fret! Our ice breaker games are designed to help everyone bond over a shared experience. You should expect adults having fun and letting lose whilst being challenged to push some comfort zones which we invite you to do as well! The games are suppose to be silly to help people come out of comfort zones and get to know someone new. We will then take a break to watch anime and we really do encourage you to stay for games after dinner which is when our team gets a breather and a good chance to get to know our newer members better in a quieter setting! We have witnessed many wonderful long term friendships formed at MAC amongst our members - We do hope you join us!
**THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS**
A big thank you to everyone who RSVPs - This money helps with the club's upkeep and hiring of the venue! We are completely NOT-FOR-PROFIT and we sincerely appreciate your contributions!! Raffle tickets will be available on the day to further support our MAC community!!

April Book Club—Glossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Glossier
**Discover the making of a beauty empire with our April book club pick**
Our April book club explores the untold story behind Glossier, the millennial beauty brand that redefined the industry. Journalist Marisa Meltzer takes readers inside Emily Weiss's meteoric journey from beauty blogger to billion-dollar founder, revealing the ambition, innovation, and ultimately the cracks that emerged in building a cult brand.
**About the book**
In this book, Meltzer chronicles how Weiss transformed her blog Into The Gloss into Glossier, a beauty empire that championed "skin first, makeup second" and turned customers into devoted fans. Through extensive reporting and insider access, the book exposes the reality behind the Instagram-perfect facade—from the company's stratospheric growth to internal tensions, workplace culture challenges, and the pressures of venture capital expectations.
**What you'll gain**
* An inside look at how Weiss built a brand by listening to customers and leveraging social media in revolutionary ways
* The untold story of what happens when a founder's vision collides with the demands of Silicon Valley investors and rapid scaling
* Real insights into the beauty industry's transformation and the costs of building a "cool girl" empire in the age of Instagram

What If Your AI Could Be a Team? - Chad Green
**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.
The building address is 4450 Bridge Park
The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400
You will need to scan your ID at the door to get a visitor badge.
**Abstract**
GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise.
We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration.
Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
