Team Work

Have you ever met someone who really wants to learn guitar, but rather than have Lessons, they just watch hundreds and hundreds of YouTube videos? No order, no progressing skill and not even the same genre of music? That is how most people are approaching AI right now and Knowledge Management has something BIG to say about that. When businesses say “My system is hallucinating”, KMers hear “I fed my system a bunch of random data, why is it saying random things??”. Two words have been missing and are now taking off, in fact some are calling it a $billion industry. Context and Provenance. Come along to KMLF for a different session. We will be watching a recent discussion from one of the top voices in this field and learning and discussing what it means for us as we help guide our organisations to a better AI (and knowledge) future. Thanks again to MinterEllison, who host the amazing space we meet in each month. **Session Details:** * **Date & Time:** 6:00pm AEDST, Fourth Wednesday of each month * **Format:** Minter Ellison and on Teams * **Agenda:** * 6-6:30 pm networking * 6:30-7:45pm exploration of the topic * 7:45-8pm wrap up * 8pm dinner for those interested. KMLF has run monthly, almost uninterrupted since 1998, serving the Victorian Knowledge Management community with close ties to Change Mgt, Records Mgt, Information Governance and Academic communities.

🎉 **Melbourne AWS User Group – March Meetup** 🎉 --- 📅 Wednesday, 25 March 📍 NAB Events Hub – 395 Bourke Street, Melbourne ⏰ Food at 6:00 pm, talks from 6:30 pm (with live stream) Join us for our March for our March meetup as we explore two important areas of modern cloud architecture: **security and resilience**. This month we’ll look at how organisations can improve least-privilege access using IAM Access Analyzer, and how to design highly resilient architectures using AWS fault isolation and multi-region patterns. This month’s lineup features: • **Hazra Ali**, a brand new **AWS Community Builder for 2026**, is presenting on how business analysis techniques can improve outcomes when using AWS IAM Access Analyzer. • **Anshika Gupta** sharing architectural principles for building resilient systems using static stability, fault isolation, and multiple AWS Regions. A huge thank you to our sponsors: 🥇 **Mantel Group – Gold Sponsor**, 🥈 **Cevo – Silver Sponsor**, 🏛 **NAB – Venue Sponsor** The event will be live-streamed on YouTube as always. *** 🗓️ **Agenda** 6:00 pm – Food & Socialising 6:30 pm – Introductions 6:40 pm – What’s New in AWS 6:55 pm – **Business Analysis in AWS IAM Access Analyzer (Level 100)**; Speaker: Hazra Ali 7:25 pm – **Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions (Level 200)**; Speaker: Anshika Gupta 7:55 pm – Marketplace (Who’s Hiring) 8:00 pm – Networking + Close *** 🎤 **Talk Details** **Business Analysis in AWS IAM Access Analyzer** Speaker: Hazra Ali Level: 100 Business analysis plays a crucial role in helping organisations implement change to address challenges and leverage solutions that deliver value. AWS IAM Access Analyzer helps organisations grant precise permissions as requirements evolve, guiding users toward least privilege by enabling them to set, verify, and refine permissions. In this presentation, Hazra will explore how business analysis practices can enhance the effectiveness of IAM Access Analyzer when solving real-world problems. The session will also discuss how AI can support business analysis workflows and assist in understanding the core concepts behind IAM Access Analyzer. *** **Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions** Speaker: Anshika Gupta Level: 200 At AWS, resilience is viewed as a continuous process, built on years of experience working with customers operating critical workloads. In this session, Anshika will explore how to design systems using AWS fault isolation boundaries and the concept of static stability to achieve predictable recovery times and high availability. You’ll learn: • How AWS Regions are designed and operated for resilience • Key architectural patterns AWS services use to maintain operations during disruptions • How static stability helps maintain availability under failure conditions • Practical architecture patterns for building multi-region resilience This session will showcase design principles, best practices, and example architectures that can help you meet your resilience requirements for mission-critical workloads. *** 🙌 **Want to Speak at a Future Meetup?** We’re always looking for new speakers and believe everyone has an interesting talk waiting to be shared.

Smashing! Try something new Friday night Interactive workshops - Become the charismatic leader Serious about improving your leadership - **Why mess, come to the best** Why is Smashing different to other speaking clubs? Just one member's thoughts, "The fun/laughs factor is definitely a point of difference. We keep it moving with high standards so it’s a nice balance. Too strict makes it tense and boring, too loose and the commercial feel is lost. SmashSpeak's vibe is in the sweet spot." **Free parking** close: O'Connell and Cobden streets **IMPORTANT: Be on time, as doors close when the show starts** “Proudly Australian" – Free-flowing teamwork, sharing the stage and greater good focus Multicultural Hub, 506 Elizabeth St (Opposite Queen Vic Market) Level 1, Orange room More to come...

Tickets required: $50 via TryBooking: https://www.trybooking.com/DKUCD Location: Carlton (exact venue/address sent after ticket purchase). What it is: a structured gathering — tea ritual + guided conversation + guided sigil-making. Tea-only (no food). Bring a notebook if you like. Looking forward to seeing you there. **The Aquarian Tea Party - Creating your own Sigil** *Ceremony, Connection, Contemplation: Sacred Tea as Ritual, Conversation as Insight* The Aquarian Tea Party invites you to an intimate gathering in a small circle of shared space, presence, and reflection. We begin with the simple alchemy of making and drinking tea, allowing scent and warmth to do what they do best: gather the mind and open a space where thought can deepen. This is a way of meeting one another in a calm, shared rhythm. Tea is approached not as refreshment alone, but as a medium for slowing perception and cultivating attention. Silence and conversation move naturally between one another, allowing the group to arrive fully. From this stillness, we turn to a short (12-minute) video introduction to sigils: symbolic forms shaped by intention—letters, marks, and geometries arranged to hold a clear inner statement. Historically used across esoteric, mystical, and philosophical traditions, sigils function as focal points for meditation, inner alignment, and energetic inquiry. The film introduces both symbolic and geometrical sigils, including forms drawn from sacred geometry, and considers their use in contemplative, protective, and balancing practices. We will touch on several families of forms, including geometric structures such as the triangle, hexagram, the Flower of Life, and related patterns that have long carried metaphysical meaning. Afterward, we will engage in a guided discussion, not to reach consensus, but to deepen understanding. This is a space for nuance, interpretation, and careful listening. Our discussion follows in the spirit of shared inquiry: reflective rather than declarative, curious rather than certain. This is a room for nuance—for those who enjoy ideas with texture, and who can sit with mystery without needing it to become a slogan. The final portion of the gathering invites participants to create their own sigils under gentle guidance. This process emphasizes clarity of intention, symbolic coherence, and embodied awareness rather than outcome-driven practice. No prior experience is required—only curiosity, patience, and respect for complexity. Please get your tickets here: **https://www.trybooking.com/DKUCD** https://www.theteaparty.com.au/

**AI, Product & What Actually Matters with Dr. Marily Nika** LTP Events is coming to Melbourne — and this one is something special. For one night only, we’re bringing one of the world’s most influential AI Product Leaders to our community. Based in Silicon Valley, Dr. Marily Nika is an award-winning GenAI Product Leader, bestselling author, Harvard Fellow, TED AI / TEDx speaker, and the creator of Maven’s first and top-rated AI PM Certification. With 12+ years building at Google and Meta, a PhD in Machine Learning, and more than 20,000 students taught globally, Marily sits at the intersection of cutting-edge AI and real-world product leadership. She’s been featured in Fortune and TechCrunch, recognised as Amplitude’s Most Influential Product Leader, Fortune 40 Under 40, and named among the Top 100 Women in Tech. This is rare access to someone operating at the very highest levels of AI and product — and she’s joining us for an intimate, candid conversation with Brainmates CCO Kathryn Shepherd-King. Together, they’ll explore what it really means to build AI-powered products today: * Where the hype ends and hard decisions begin * How GenAI is reshaping the role of product leaders * What separates AI experiments from real impact * And how to think clearly when the technology is moving faster than your roadmap Expect thoughtful discussion, practical insights, and honest reflections from someone shaping the global AI product conversation in real time. Surrounding the conversation is what LTP does best: a relaxed, no-pressure space to connect with fellow product leaders, builders, and thinkers navigating the same questions. Just smart people, meaningful dialogue, and conversations that continue long after the chat ends. **Evening timeline** 5.30 – 6.00pm: Arrive, grab a drink, and connect 6.00 – 6.40pm: Fireside chat with Dr. Marily Nika plus Q&A 6.40 – 7.30pm: Networking, conversation, and connection Hosted at the great Easygo space, we’ll have light food and drinks covered — all we ask is that you bring your curiosity and good energy. Plus! Everyone who attends goes into the draw to win 2 free tickets to LTP 2026. Simply show up, connect, and you could be heading to Australia’s best product conference in May! This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from one of the most respected voices in AI product — without flying to Silicon Valley. Please RSVP if you are keen to attend and they will be capped but don’t stress, late cancellations are okay. We can’t wait to host you for this one.

This smaller half-pitch match is strictly for **35 years and older** players only, as well as **not for beginners**. You must register to play. Please arrive on time to lend a hand in setting up the goals. A Roll Call for registered players is conducted. If you arrive late, you will need to join one of the other remaining open-age matches and relinguish your spot for someone who is on the waiting list and has come on-time. Please have the courtesy to de-register if you are unable to attend at all. Please wear a black or white top, or bring both so teams can be easily divided evenly. We recommend shin guards as the game is competitive and a contact sport. It is up to you to manage your own risk of injury, as this is social and free. However, we do NOT condone sliding tackles and over-aggressiveness. Please place your possessions in a safe place while the game is running. Your possessions are your own responsibility. Post-match, please help with packing up the goals, bibs and cones. 2-3 people per goal makes very light work and only takes 3 minutes.

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081
