Never been to our meetups before? We’ve added a step-by-step directions map to the homepage so you know exactly where to go. Look for the colourful COHORT building on Nexus Way, walk in and turn left — the Board-room is right there. The Griffith University G:link stop is a short walk south if you’re coming by tram.

Our friends up the highway are back at the AWS office – Level 30, 300 George Street – on Wednesday 22 October, doors 5:30 pm and talks from 6:00.

Confirmed agenda:

• John Crook – “A very Brief History of AI: How AWS fueled the evolution of Language Models”
• Michael Kingston – “SageMaker Isn’t Dead, It’s Load-Bearing Foundation”
• What’s New on AWS

Proudly sponsored by Thoughtworks and Idea 11 in conjunction with AWS Brisbane.

A week after our October meetup, so it is an easy double if you are already heading to Brisbane.

Our friends in Brisbane had a strong September session at the AWS office on Level 30, 300 George Street. Adrian Fletcher opened with Zero Trust Networking in AWS using Tailscale, followed by Dmytro Sirant on “You Are the Bottleneck — How KiroCrew turns your AI from a tool you babysit into a crew that ships while you sleep”. 84 attendees.

The national community conference lands at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on Friday 16 October: three tracks, 400+ attendees, and every speaker a hands-on practitioner rather than a vendor. Tickets are $20.

We’re a community partner, so expect a Gold Coast contingent on the train up — say hello at the meetup on the 13th if you want company for the trip.
