July 04 | Melbourne Singles Social (23-33) | KISMETRIX
July 04 | Melbourne Singles Social (23-33) | KISMETRIX
๐Ÿ’› KISMETRIX \| True Connection ๐Ÿ“ Alfie's Bar, 167 Franklin Street, Melbourne CBD ๐Ÿ“… Saturday, 4 July 2026 ๐Ÿ•™ 9:30 PM โ€“ 11:30 PM ๐ŸŽŸ Early Bird $15 \| Last Release $25 ๐Ÿฅ‚ Includes a welcome drink on arrival Melbourne Singles Social \| Ages 23โ€“33 Let's be honest. Meeting new people as an adult can be surprisingly hard. Most people already have their own friendship groups. Dating apps can feel repetitive. And approaching someone at a bar isn't always easy when you have no idea if they're interested in meeting anyone. That's why we created KISMETRIX. A relaxed Saturday night where everyone is single, most people come solo, and everyone is there for the same reason โ€” to meet new people, have a good time, and see where the conversation leads. No speed dating. No awkward icebreakers. No pressure. Just a fun night out with people who are genuinely open to meeting someone new. Whether you're looking for dating, friendship, new connections, or simply a better way to spend your Saturday night, you'll be surrounded by others doing the same. ## What to Expect ๐Ÿฅ‚ Welcome drink included on arrival ๐Ÿธ Full bar available throughout the evening ๐Ÿค Friendly hosts to help introductions happen naturally ๐Ÿ’ฌ A room full of Melbourne singles aged 23โ€“33 ๐ŸŽถ Great music and a social atmosphere where you can actually have a conversation โœจ A welcoming environment where showing up solo is completely normal ## Who Comes Along? Young professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs, students, and everyday people from across Melbourne. Some are looking for a relationship. Some are newly single. Some just want to meet new people and get off the apps for a night. Most guests arrive on their own, which is exactly what makes these events work. ## Why People Love These Nights Because everyone is open to meeting people. You're not interrupting friendship groups. You're not guessing who's single. And you're not trying to make a dating app profile sound more interesting than it needs to be. Just real people, real conversations, and a genuinely fun night out. ## Important Information โ€ข This is a hosted singles social event, not a speed dating event โ€ข A welcome drink is included with every ticket โ€ข Additional drinks and food are available for purchase at the venue โ€ข We aim for a balanced mix of attendees where possible, though numbers may vary โ€ข Respect, kindness, and consideration for others are expected at all KISMETRIX events โ€ข Tickets are non-refundable but may be transferred to another person KISMETRIX reserves the right to manage attendance and participation, including declining or removing entry where necessary, to ensure a positive and respectful experience for all guests. ## About KISMETRIX KISMETRIX hosts Melbourne singles events designed to help people meet naturally in real life. Whether you're looking to expand your social circle, meet new people in Melbourne, or explore dating opportunities, our events create a relaxed environment where connections can happen naturally. ๐ŸŒ kismetrix.com.au ๐Ÿ“ง social@kismetrix.com.au By purchasing a ticket and attending this event, you agree to follow the KISMETRIX Code of Conduct and Community Guidelines.

MEL MLOps Community #18 | Data, Decision and Agentic AI Productivity Paradox
MEL MLOps Community #18 | Data, Decision and Agentic AI Productivity Paradox
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. **๐ŸŽค Speakers** Weโ€™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 itโ€™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 oneโ€™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? Whereโ€™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 youโ€™re experimenting with * Trends youโ€™re seeing in ML and MLOps * Challenges youโ€™re tackling * Ways to find peer support Weโ€™ll have food, drinks, and the perfect space for great conversations โ€” so feel free to bring along anyone interested in ML, MLOps, or AI more broadly. **Agenda** ๐Ÿ• **5:30pm** โ€“ Networking, drinks & food ๐Ÿ™‹ **6:00pm** โ€“ Welcome ๐ŸŽค **6:10pm** โ€“ Presentation by Nathanael โ“ **6:30pm** โ€“ Questions for Nathanael ๐ŸŽค **6:40pm** โ€“ Presentation by Javier โ“ **7:00pm** โ€“ Questions for Javier ๐Ÿป **7:10pm onwards** โ€“ Networking, drinks & food Weโ€™re looking forward to seeing you there! **P.S.** If you canโ€™t make it in person, weโ€™ll be streaming the event via Google Meet.

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 โ€” 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. #### ๐Ÿ’ซ 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 โ€” 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: ๐ŸŽฏ Are open, friendly and easy-going ๐ŸŽฏ Want a fun night out that feels natural โ€” not forced ๐ŸŽฏ Prefer real-life connection over swiping ๐ŸŽฏ 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. #### ๐ŸŽฏ WHAT TO EXPECT You'll arrive to a private room โ€” 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: ๐ŸŽฏ A welcome drink waiting when you arrive ๐ŸŽฏ A warm hosted welcome so nobody walks in feeling lost ๐ŸŽฏ Fun, accessible trivia rounds โ€” no expertise required ๐ŸŽฏ Rotating teams through the night so you meet different people across different rounds ๐ŸŽฏ A mystery round (yes, really) ๐ŸŽฏ A prize worth playing for ๐ŸŽฏ Plenty of laughs, friendly arguing, and genuinely good company Our in-house Kismetrix host keeps the energy warm and the night moving โ€” so it always feels like a night out with good people, not a structured event. #### ๐Ÿ‘ฅ AGE GUIDE ๐ŸŽฏ 30-43 ยท 40โ€“53 ยท 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 โ€” not strict age gates. If you're slightly outside a range and the format feels right for you, you're welcome to book. #### ๐ŸŽฏ WHO THIS NIGHT IS FOR This event is for singles who: ๐ŸŽฏ Want a fun, social night out that's a little different ๐ŸŽฏ Are curious about Kismetrix but want a low-pressure way to start ๐ŸŽฏ Love trivia โ€” or have never done it but like the sound of it ๐ŸŽฏ Want to meet new people without it feeling like a "singles event" ๐ŸŽฏ Are open, friendly, and ready for a genuinely good Thursday night Come solo โ€” most people do. You'll be in good company from the moment you walk in. #### ๐Ÿฝ 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 โ€” and many of our guests do. #### ๐ŸŽŸ TICKETS ๐ŸŽฏ Early Bird โ€” $39 ๐ŸŽฏ General โ€” $49 ๐ŸŽฏ Last Minute โ€” $59 Welcome drink included at every tier. Spots are strictly limited to 7โ€“8 tables to keep the night intimate and social โ€” early booking is strongly recommended. *Last year's event sold out. Don't sit on it.* #### ๐Ÿ’ก WHY PEOPLE LOVE KISMETRIX EVENTS ๐ŸŽฏ No swiping. No apps. Just real people in a real room ๐ŸŽฏ No awkward formats or forced interactions ๐ŸŽฏ A genuinely fun night โ€” even if you come solo ๐ŸŽฏ Exclusively for Kismetrix guests โ€” private room, warm atmosphere ๐ŸŽฏ Hosted by people who actually care about how the night feels Many guests come "just to try it" โ€” and end up staying all night. #### โœจ 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. #### ๐Ÿ”” IMPORTANT NOTES ๐ŸŽฏ This is a hosted social experience โ€” not speed dating ๐ŸŽฏ A welcome drink is included; additional drinks and food are available at the venue ๐ŸŽฏ Gender balance is carefully aimed for but not always guaranteed ๐ŸŽฏ Respect, boundaries, and good energy are essential at all Kismetrix events ๐ŸŽฏ Tickets are non-refundable but transferable #### ๐Ÿ”— STAY CONNECTED WITH KISMETRIX \| TRUE CONNECTION ๐Ÿ“ง **social@kismetrix.com.au** ๐ŸŒ **[www.kismetrix.com.au](http://www.kismetrix.com.au/ "http://www.kismetrix.com.au")** ๐Ÿ“ฑ 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")** ๐Ÿ“„ 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\. ๐Ÿค Collaborations: collabs@kismetrix.com.au

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data** How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but thatโ€™s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analystโ€™s daily practice. Sometimes itโ€™s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. Thereโ€™s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look. In this session, weโ€™ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. Youโ€™ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it. **About Our Speaker:** [Elaine Armbruster](https://www.linkedin.com/in/elainearmbruster/) is a Director of Digital Experience at the [American Diabetes Association](https://diabetes.org/), where she focuses on using data and insights to create smarter, more effective digital experiences. A lifelong Columbus resident, she has built her career in email marketing and the broader digital user journey, and is finding she most enjoys working in the messy middle where systems, data, and big ideas donโ€™t quite line up yet.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it โ€œseems good,โ€ and move on. That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable. In this talk, weโ€™ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. Weโ€™ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork. This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it. Weโ€™ll cover: * Why โ€œit looks goodโ€ is not enough * How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints * How to compare LLM outputs more systematically * Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness * How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results * Where automated evaluation works โ€” and where humans still need to stay in the loop By the end, youโ€™ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), weโ€™re shifting to the following Friday. But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why Iโ€™d even want to. Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
