\*\*\*UPDATE TO NOVEMBER EVENT\*\*\* Unfortunately, we’re very sorry to announce that we need to cancel the November Sydney Video Meetup. Following recent announcements, Canva has temporarily closed access to Canva Space, and unfortunately we haven’t been able to secure an alternative venue at such short notice. We’re genuinely sorry for the change of plans and any inconvenience this may cause. We were really looking forward to seeing everyone. We’ll regroup and look at bringing the meetup back in 2027. Thanks for your understanding and continued support! All the best, Jeremy, Adrian, Grégoire and Amy

WSTI Festi 2026: SME AI Forum, Can AI Help Your Business Grow? After a full house on 30 September, WSTI and Parramatta Business Connect (PBC) are hosting the SME AI Forum again! You've heard AI can save time, cut costs and help business grow. But what does that actually look like in a business like yours, and where do you start? This evening, you'll hear it from local business owners who have already done it. They're not tech companies. They run everyday Western Sydney businesses, and they've set up a team of AI agents to take on the paperwork, reports and admin that used to eat their evenings. They'll tell you what they built, what it took, what went wrong along the way and what changed in their week. Then the WSTI team will show you live demos of AI agents doing real work, so you can see exactly how it works. No hype, just real stories, real demos and honest answers to your questions. How the evening runs • Doors open from 5:30 PM, with light refreshments • Welcome from WSTI and Parramatta Business Connect • Fireside chat: local business owners share how they use AI agents in their business, from the first step to the results • Live demos: the WSTI team shows AI agents doing real work, start to finish • Q&A: bring your questions about cost, privacy, accuracy and where to begin • Networking until 7:30 PM What you get • Real stories from local business owners: what worked, what didn't and what it saved them • A live look at AI agents doing real business work, not slides about the future • A plain-English view of the risks: privacy, accuracy and keeping a human in charge • A clear idea of where your business could start • Connections with other local business owners, and with WSTI's mentors and members, Parramatta and Western Sydney's largest grassroots AI community Who should come You do not need any tech background. If you run a business, this evening is for you. • Small business owners, founders and sole traders • Managers and team leaders who look after operations, admin, sales or marketing • Anyone who has tried ChatGPT and wondered what comes next Free to attend: register your interest first Places are limited, and we want them to go to the people who will get the most from the evening. So there are two simple steps: 1\. Register your interest by Friday 6 November\, with a few quick questions about you and your business 2\. We'll confirm your free ticket on a rolling basis\, and no later than Monday 9 November\. We aim to welcome as many different local businesses as possible If your plans change after you're confirmed, please let us know so someone else can take your place.

Sydney Monthly Social Tech Meetup!

Sydney Monthly Social Tech Meetup!

Thu, Nov 26, 6:30 AM
From Sydney Tech Meetup
4.7

**Welcome to the Sydney Monthly Social Tech Meetup!** Running for at least 10 years now (no-one is really exactly sure when we started) we're just a monthly social meetup of techies around Sydney, held at the Blackwattle Bar and Brewery in Alexandria. All welcome, or whether you're a hobbyist, student, or working as a software engineer, UI/UX designer, AI specialist or data scientist, in tech management or product, or maybe just like hanging out with techies. There's no formal talks, just a social catch up towards end of the week (and the end of the month!) The [Blackwattle Bar and Brewery](https://www.blackwattlebrewery.com.au/) is a great family run pub in Alexandria that has plenty of food and drink options, including beers brewed on site. The Blackwattle is about a 10 minute walk from Green Square station and Waterloo metro stations, which are each only about 5 minutes from Central/Town Hall. It's about a 15 minute walk from Redfern station. And there's plenty of bus routes that go nearby also! Looking forward to seeing you there!

WSTI Festi 2026: AI for Not-for-Profits & Community

WSTI Festi 2026: AI for Not-for-Profits & Community

Thu, Nov 12, 7:00 AM
From Western Sydney Tech Innovators
4.8

WSTI Festi 2026: AI for Not-for-Profits & Community Curious about using AI agents to augment and automate everyday work, but not sure what that would actually look like in your organisation, or whether your team could do it? This night is for you. A well-established local not-for-profit brings a genuine everyday challenge, the kind almost every not-for-profit will recognise. Over a few short sessions before the night, WSTI has coached their team to set up an agentic AI system and build their own AI solution. On stage, they'll show you how they did it: the questions they asked, the decisions they made and the challenges they faced. Then they'll showcase the initial results live, using sample data only, so no real client or volunteer information is shared. We don't build it for you. We build it with you. That's how WSTI works with organisations every week, because the skills should stay with your team long after we leave. And we believe the team should always be in the driver's seat. After all, responsible AI starts with your organisation, the people you serve and the problem worth solving, not with the technology. You'll leave knowing how to take that first step in your own organisation. How the night runs • Doors open from 5:30 PM, with light refreshments • Welcome from WSTI and Cr Hayley French, City of Parramatta • Meet the case study: what the organisation does and where the pressure points are • The journey: what the AI transformation sessions looked like, from the first discovery questions to choosing one safe, contained use case • The live showcase: the not-for-profit team shows what they built and the initial results, on stage • The honest reflection: in their own words, what works, what the challenges are, and what they decided must stay human • Your turn: in teams, run the discovery questions on your own organisation and pick your first use case. Then discuss how your team's roles could change when AI agents work alongside people. • Q&A and networking until 8:00 PM What you get • A real look at how a not-for-profit team, not just a tech expert, moves from a problem to a working AI tool; the experience speaks for itself. • Hands-on time with the discovery questions on your own organisation, with resources to help • Your own first use case, chosen and written down before you leave • A plain-English view of the risks: privacy, accuracy and human oversight • A take-home starter kit with the questions, a simple safety checklist and ready-to-use templates for everyday admin • Connections with other local not-for-profits facing the same challenges and opportunities, and with WSTI's mentors and members, Parramatta and Western Sydney's largest grassroots AI community Who should come You do not need any tech background. That's the point. • Directors and managers at charities and not-for-profits curious about boosting organisation capacity with AI that goes beyond ChatGPT • Volunteer coordinators, program leads and social workers • Board and committee members • Community, faith and cultural organisations • Social enterprises and community service providers Coming with a colleague? Even better. You can work through your own organisation together in the hands-on part. Free to attend: register your interest first Places are limited, and we want them to go to the people who will get the most from the night. So there are two simple steps: 1\. Register your interest by Wednesiday 11 November\, with a few quick questions about you and your organisation 2\. We'll confirm your free ticket on a rolling basis\, and no later than Wednesday 11 November\. We aim to welcome people from as many local organisations as possible If your plans change after you're confirmed, please let us know so someone else can take your place.
