The Art of Choosing (For Women): Boundaries & Standards in Dating
### ✨ KISMETRIX \| Love Mastery
[Ticketed Event](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-art-of-choosing-for-women-boundaries-standards-in-dating-tickets-1986299807193?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl)
This is the first release of The Art of Choosing under our Love Mastery Series.
**The Art of Choosing (For Women)**
Boundaries & Standards in Dating
📍 RYVE – Level 1, 38 Shafton St, Huntingdale VIC
📅 Wednesday, 8 April 2026
🕖 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
## A WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN WHO WANT MORE THAN SURFACE-LEVEL CONNECTION
This is not about how to attract more people.
This is about learning how to **choose the right ones**.
Many women don’t struggle with meeting people — they struggle with **discernment, boundaries, and trusting their own judgement**.
If you’ve ever felt:
• You keep attracting the same patterns in dating
• You ignore red flags or second-guess your intuition
• You give too much, too soon
• You’re unsure what you truly want in a partner
• You want something deeper — but don’t know how to navigate modern dating
This session is designed to support you.
## WHAT YOU’LL GAIN
• **Clarity** — understanding what you truly want (beyond chemistry)
• **Standards** — defining your non-negotiables with confidence
• **Boundaries** — learning how to hold them without guilt
• **Discernment** — recognising red flags, green flags, and inconsistency early
• **Self-awareness** — understanding your patterns in attraction and attachment
• **Decision-making** — knowing when to lean in… and when to walk away
## THE KISMETRIX APPROACH
At Kismetrix, we believe connection should feel natural, respectful, and aligned.
This is not a rigid workshop.
It’s a **guided, reflective space** with real conversations, practical insights, and the opportunity to deepen your understanding of how you show up in dating.
This work doesn’t stop here — it carries into how you engage in real-life interactions, including Kismetrix events.
## WHO THIS IS FOR
• Women who are intentional about dating and relationships
• Women who value depth, emotional intelligence, and meaningful connection
• Women who are ready to raise their standards — without becoming closed off
## IMPORTANT NOTES
• This is a discussion-based and reflective session (not lecture-style)
• This is not a dating or matchmaking event
• Outcomes in dating are never guaranteed — this is about personal clarity
• Respect, boundaries, and emotional safety are central to this space
• Tickets are non-refundable but transferable

Cloud To Career
**Cloud to Career**
**Proudly presented by AWS Cloud Club @ University of Melbourne & Quantum Club**
**Sponsored by CareerXlerate**
**Turn your cloud knowledge into real-world impact—and your passion into a career.**
In today’s world, knowing the cloud is just the beginning. The real question is:
**How do you turn those skills into meaningful, real-world AI and industry solutions?**
**Cloud to Career** is a high-impact, immersive evening designed to bridge that exact gap — bringing together students, industry leaders, and innovators into one powerful space.
Whether you're exploring cloud, diving into AI, or preparing for your first role in tech, this event will give you something far more valuable than theory:
**insight, exposure, and real connection with the people already doing it.**
**Event Details**
* **Date:** April 8th
* **Time:** 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM
* **Audience:** \~100 students, engineers, and aspiring tech professionals
**What to Expect**
Industry Panel: Real Stories, Real Insights. Kick off the evening with a high-value panel featuring leading professionals from the industry.
Learn how they transitioned from learning cloud to building impactful solutions in AI, engineering, and beyond.
**We’ll dive into:**
* Breaking into the tech industry
* Real-world applications of cloud + AI
* Skills that actually matter (beyond coursework)
* Mistakes, lessons, and career-defining moments
**Live Q&A — Ask Anything**
An open Q&A session where you drive the conversation.
Ask your questions — whether you're unsure about career paths, technical skills, or industry expectations.
Includes both:
* In-person audience questions
* Online audience participation
**Networking + Buffet**
Move into a relaxed networking session with food and meaningful conversations.
This is your chance to:
* Speak directly with industry professionals
* Build genuine connections
* Explore opportunities, mentorship, and ideas
**Live Case Challenge (Student × Industry Collaboration)**
This is where things get exciting.
During networking, 2 students and 2 industry professionals will be randomly selected to take part in a live architecture challenge.
**What happens:**
* A real-world case scenario is presented
* Collaborate for 40 minutes
* They design and discuss a solution architecture
* Present their thinking to a panel of judges
**Then:**
* Judges break down the solution
* Highlight what worked and what didn’t
* Share how they would approach the problem
Meanwhile, the rest of the room continues networking — making this a dynamic, interactive, and high-energy environment.
Why You Should Attend
* Go beyond theory and see how cloud + AI is applied in the real world
* Learn directly from industry leaders
* Build meaningful connections that could shape your career
* Experience a live problem-solving environment
* Be part of one of the most engaging student-industry tech events at UniMelb
**Final Note**
This isn’t just another tech event.
It’s a bridge between where you are and where you want to be.
If you're serious about turning your skills into a career —
*this* is where it starts.

How is it that you can Help kids or yourself to become a better student!
Too many kids as well as teenagers and adults have problems with study.
Today's meetup will inform you about the basics in STUDY TECHNOLOGY that provides an understanding of the basics of learning and supplies exact ways to overcome all the pitfalls one can encounter during study. This is applicable to young children, teenagers (or their parents that are trying to help them) and adults alike.
Study Technology shows how one studies in order to comprehend a subject so one can apply it. Laws on which learning is based and workable methods have also been discovered for anyone to apply for themselves or when teaching others.
Too many students graduate from school and college unable to put to use what they’ve learned in school.
It’s not that they’re stupid or that their teachers didn’t know how to teach.
More than likely it traces back to the one thing missing from most educations—learning how to learn in the first place.
We all went to school, yet isn’t it odd that no one taught us how to study?
The information presented at this meetup can help anyone improve others or his own ability to learn.
It is a practical tool that parents and teachers alike can use to enhance a child's study performance. You’ll learn the barriers that lie between your own or a child's education.
And you will very quickly learn how to overcome them.
This technology will enable you or a child to pursue any subject with skill and confidence.
Teachers who have "hard to handle/distributive " or slow learners in class will absolutely love the amazing turn around most often seen in improved behaviour and student performance in class.
If you or your child has difficulties at school (or learning new things at work or online) than this meetup is important to you.
If you can not make it to our meetup than contact the organizer and arrange it to suit your time.
This technology can if one was to live far away be taught online. (extension course)
You may offcourse also opt to have this technology taught to your own child by experienced volunteeer staff or learn about this yourself and transfer this knowledge to those you want to have better grades.
Yes it is possible to improve anyone's study performance. All it takes is just 5 steps.
See you at this meetup.

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.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - The Data-Driven Brand
**The Data-Driven Brand: Using Analytics to Shape Perception**
Can you use analytics to improve tacos? This being CBUSDAW, we think the answer is probably “yes”, but we’re not sure how to implement or test this theory.
For our April meetup we’ve got Sara Kear, CMO of Condado Tacos, to investigate this delicious question. Sara will explore how she blends quantitative data and qualitative customer feedback to shape brand positioning and drive business decisions. We all know that marketing and analytics go way beyond attribution. Sara will show how Condado uses customer insights to inform product and pricing strategy.
She’ll also highlight how Condado leverages customer feedback at scale to influence operational priorities, positioning marketing as the voice of the customer across the organization. In the last 12 years Condado has gone from one location in Columbus to 52 locations across 10 states, so we’re guessing there’s more to that growth than really good guac (though the guac probably helps).
Ultimately, this talk focuses on the intersection of art and science—using data to inform creativity and build a brand that resonates with customers in a measurable way.
**About Our Speaker**
Sara Kear is Chief Marketing Officer at Condado Tacos, where she oversees brand, restaurant design, menu and pricing strategy, off-premise including catering, and customer data strategy. Since joining in 2021, she has helped grow the brand from 19 to 52 locations while building a data-driven marketing organization focused on loyalty and customer insights. Condado has since been named to the Inc. 5000, recognized as Breakout Retailer by Chain Store Age, and consistently ranked among FastCasual’s Top 100 Movers & Shakers.
