Accelerated Serendipity - Planning To Be Lucky

Sat, Jun 13, 6:00 AM

4.5

Most people think luck means random chance. This experiential learning session will mess with that assumption, and reveals how personal and professional transformation often begins with the opportunities we learn to notice, create, and act on. Yes, many people accidentally stumble into rewards. But for the rest of our lives, there is growing evidence that we are often the biggest limiter of our own success - including in situations involving random chance that could benefit us. Through interactive games, social experiments, roleplay scenarios, chain-reaction challenges, and coincidence simulations, we’re turning serendipity into something you can begin activating all around you. You’ll experience: 🎲 how to tweak conversation to bring up opportunities 🎲 invisible domino effects behind synchronicity 🎲 why energy, enthusiasm, and participation magnify possibilities 🎲 "being in the right place at the right time" more often 🎲 activate secrets of momentum no one talks about By the end of the session, you may begin questioning whether luck was ever truly random to begin with. Or at the very least…why not begin by asking: “What is the best that can happen?” if you attend this event. Secure your spot for this ticketed event at: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1585189 **ABOUT** Utopia Rising delivers unconventional social experiences for self-improvement seekers looking to broaden their network or simply be inspired by life again. It’s a party reimagined - alcohol-free, featuring healthy plant-based food.

LTP 2026 Conversation Continued with Taufiq Khan

Thu, Jun 11, 7:30 AM

From LTP Events Sydney

From Her Collective Space | Dream Big, Build Bigger

**LTP 2026 Conversation Continued with Taufiq Khan** After one of the most talked-about sessions at Leading the Product 2026, [Taufiq Khan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/taufiqkhan/) is back for an intimate fireside chat to continue the conversation. Hosted by LTP Events and [The Onset](https://theonset.com.au/), this special evening will go deeper into the ideas, provocations, and practical insights from TK’s standout presentation at LTP 2026 — exploring why continuous synthesis is becoming one of the most important skills in modern product leadership, and how AI can help teams turn chaos into clarity. In a world overloaded with information, shifting priorities, and constant noise, how do product teams focus on what actually matters? Drawing on his experience across industries, TK will unpack how teams can better manage information, improve decision-making, move faster with confidence, and build what he calls a “context machine” — a smarter way to simplify inputs and create clearer outcomes. If you attended LTP 2026, this is your chance for an awesome double-dose of TK and an opportunity to go even deeper into the conversation. And if you missed the conference, you’ll discover why Taufiq as a fresh view on product and AI in general. Following the fireside chat, we’ll open things up for audience Q&A and networking — giving you the chance to connect with fellow product leaders navigating the same opportunities and challenge. **Evening timeline:** 5.30 – 6.15pm: Arrive, grab a drink, and connect 6.15 – 7.00pm: Fireside chat with Taufiq Khan and Q&A 7.00 – 8.00pm: Networking, conversation, and connection We’ll have light food and drinks covered — all we ask is that you bring your curiosity and your questions.

From Sooner Safer Happier - Pacific (#BVSSH)

A monthly structured Networking Event designed for women who want to grow not only personally, but also in their business.

You’ll be welcomed and seated at a table with a reflection prompt to start the conversation\. 2\. Each round focuses on a different question designed to challenge your thinking and open up honest discussions around business and personal growth\. 3\. Every 20 minutes\, we rotate tables so you can connect\, share\, and gain new perspectives from different women in the room\. By the end, you'll walk away with fresh perspectives, new connections, and a little more clarity on what matters to you. **🔎 How to Find Rabbit Bar** Rabbit Bar can be tricky to spot: 1. Go to the ground floor of **The Galeries** 2. Look for **Toastie Smith** 3. Behind it, you’ll see a semi-enclosed area 4. Walk down into that area 5. On your right, you’ll see a doorway. Enter it 6. Then look for another open door immediately to your right. That’s **Rabbit Bar**! 📲 **Got questions?** Feel free to message me here on Meetup. **Looking forward to a room full of real talk. See you there! xx** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Want to learn more about Her Collective Space?** Follow us on [Instagram](http://www.instagram.com/hercollectivespace)

Building an AI-Enabled Enterprise

Tue, Jun 16, 7:00 AM

From Unhurried Conversations Sydney

**From experimentation to operating model change: what it takes to build an AI-enabled enterprise.** AI is everywhere, but most organisations are still treating it as a side initiative rather than rethinking how the enterprise actually works with it. In this conversation, we'll step back from the usual focus on tools, pilots, and adoption stories to explore a bigger question: what really needs to change in the operating model if AI is to deliver meaningful value? Together, we’ll explore the House of AI as a framework for thinking about how strategy, governance, team design, and delivery need to evolve together, why isolated AI initiatives often struggle to stick, and how the Better, Value, Sooner, Safer, Happier measures can be used to assess whether change is improving outcomes, not just increasing activity. If you are trying to work out how AI fits into the wider design of the enterprise, this conversation will offer a practical lens for thinking about structure, flow, governance, and value - join us and bring your questions and perspectives. This session is for executives, product, delivery and technology leaders, and transformation practitioners who want to understand how AI is reshaping enterprise operating models, leadership, and performance measurement. **Maria Muir**, Founder, SSH APAC Maria co-founded and leads the Asia-Pacific region for SSH, where she builds the movement through storytelling, community building, and advisory. She has worked with more than ten ASX 200 companies, enabling them to become adaptable, innovative, and customer centric. She is passionate about disrupting the status quo and delivering value sooner, safer, and happier. Maria works at the intersection of strategy, operating models, lean portfolio management, delivery, ways of working, culture, data and technology. **Mark Payne,** Principal, SSH APAC Mark specialises in designing enterprise systems or work including delivery pathways, lean governance, portfolio management and tooling. He unlocks complexity and connects stakeholders at all levels, from c-suite to operational teams, to design and embed change at every stage of the journey. **Ruma Dak,** Senior Consultant, SSH APAC Ruma is passionate about helping teams and leaders embrace change and work smarter in fast-paced environments. With a strong foundation in both technical and people-focused roles, she empowers individuals and teams to adapt, collaborate, and drive measurable outcomes. Ruma combines her coaching and facilitation skills to design effective ways of working that enable organisations to thrive amidst complexity and transformation.
