[Good Design Australia](https://good-design.org/) has a proud history that dates back to 1958 and they’re passionately committed to recognising, rewarding, and promoting the importance of design to business, industry, government and the general public… and the critical role it plays in creating a better, safer, and a more sustainable and prosperous future.

Kong x Deloitte Meetup: Building on Kong in Sydney

Join Kong, Deloitte and Commonwealth Bank for an evening of real conversations about building on Kong. No slide decks pretending to be a keynote — just insights from the people who have actually shipped this technology. **From APIs to AI: Identity, Security and Scale in the Enterprise** The industry is changing fast — and this conversation digs into what that means for APIs and AI workloads in production. Commonwealth Bank shares their real-world journey with Kong — Open Banking, Netbanking, and their Konnect migration, including the challenges and lessons learned. Deloitte explores how AI is reshaping enterprise integration and agentic workloads, and Kong closes on where it’s all heading — from APIs to AI and agents, and what it takes to run agentic workloads securely at scale. **What’s happening:** **6:00 – 6:45 PM — Arrive, network, eat** Grab a drink, grab some food, meet the people building next to you. **6:55 – 7:45 PM — Panel & fireside chat** CommBank, Deloitte and Kong on API gateways, the move from APIs to AI, and running agentic workloads in production. No pitch, just what actually worked (and what didn’t). **7:45 – 8:30 PM — Q&A, networking, food & drinks** Bring your questions. Stay for the conversation. **Who should come:** Platform engineers, API teams, anyone building with Kong or curious about it. **📍 Venue Access & Parking** **Access:** All attendees will receive a QR code at 5:00 PM the day before the event to access the client levels.

Unhurried Conversations at the Pub

In an unhurried conversation, there is time to think differently and connect with people in a refreshing way. Unhurried isn't always slow. It offers a pace where people find it easy to join in and not feel crowded out. And listening can be as satisfying as talking. We use a simple meeting format to make this happen. https://www.unhurried.org/ This newly created event is at a new venue, the Keg & Bew Hotel at Surry Hills. We meet on the 2nd floor around 6:15pm. Food and drinks are available, before and after, on the ground floor and roof top.

Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity

We live in a world where bad news travels fast, fear grabs our attention, and negativity has had decades to occupy our mental real estate. What if, for once, we turned the tables? What if we flooded our surroundings with so much goodness that it became impossible not to know it, feel it, and be it? Welcome to "Extreme Positivity 2.0 - Overflowing Generosity" where we take our best finds and see what happens when we broadcast it on everyone around us. This isn't about pretending life is perfect or forcing ourselves to be happy. It's about deliberately creating hope for hope's sake, then seeing what happens when this new energy gives people permission to flourish, heal, and become positivity beacons themselves. Expect more expressions of goodness than you've ever experienced packed into 3 hours. Some of you will immediately know you need this right now as you read this invitation. Others might not realise how much they've needed it until afterwards because sometimes, the busyness of life gets in the way of noticing, appreciating and sharing good news. Because positivity isn't just something we can cultivate within ourselves. It's something we can give and multiply... **Who is this for?** * anyone surrounded by toxic environments or negative people * those who need to communicate optimism and convince others to embrace positivity, whether professionally or as a business owner * people who would benefit from connecting with a diverse network of humans working to make the world a better place in different fields **What will happen?** * exercises to discover what brings people to life and learn what makes each other tick * team challenges that turn feelings of joy, awe and ecstasy into expressions of goodness for others to experience * simulations to explore and practice the power of words, thus honing in awareness of how the way we communicate matters a lot **What will you get out of it?** * leave very, very, very positive about yourself and others * learn techniques and tools to make positivity feel more natural and become your new default * gain a greater appreciation of your own influence in the world 🎟️ This is a ticketed event.
