From Sydney Talent Meetup

**๐ŸŽซ ๐Ÿ”ฅ REGISTER here (not via meetup.com) - follow this link:** https://luma.com/sw4rj3l5 โ€‹Hey folks, โ€‹If you're like us & working in the talent/people space, you've probably sat through enough "AI is going to change everything" webinars, panels etc to last a lifetime. โ€‹So much fluff. And not nearly enough actual *"here's HOW"* \- from people who've genuinely built cool sh\!t that works\. โ€‹We've created this meetup to fix that. โ€‹Our meetup will showcase real builds & real workflows- from people sharing exactly how they pulled it off. โ€‹Here's who's showing their work ๐Ÿ‘‡ โ€‹๐Ÿ› ๏ธ **Joris Luijke** \- Founder/CPO at Pyn *(ex-Atlassian, ex-Squarespace)* Joris will demo various P&C builds he's done himself, AND finally settle the thing we're all quietly confused about: AI vs Automation vs AI Agents - exactly when to use which, and how to actually set it up correctly. You'll leave knowing the difference and he'll also share a tonne of useful resources! โ€‹๐ŸŽจ **Bec Jenkins** \- People Experience & Operations at Canva *(ex-Airtasker)* The real, unfiltered story of how Canva's People/Talent teams are actually using AI - the stuff that stuck, the stuff that flopped, and the gold that came out of their recent AI Hackathon. โ€‹๐ŸŒ **Yenny Wong** \- Senior Director\, Talent at The Trade Desk *(ex-Google)* Yenny shares how she picks the Talent problems actually worth solving with AI, and shares her process of creating a global "innovation engine" where gets AI adopted across the whole team. Examples of impactful AI builds from the team will also be shared. โ€‹โšก **Andrew Suryanto** \- GTM Engineer & Community Lead at Build Club *(ex-Relevance AI)* The grand finale, and honestly the bit we're super nervous/excited about: **YOU** tell us what to build. We take the most-requested idea, put it in front of Andrew, start a timer and watch him build it with AI/agents **LIVE**. No net, no edits, no take-two. Absolute legend behaviour. โ€‹Please join us in praying to the demo gods for this one! :D โ€‹**The important bits:** โ€‹๐Ÿ“… Thursday 27 August โฐ 5:00 - 8:00pm ๐Ÿ“ The Trade Desk, Barangaroo ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Spots are limited - grab your ticket before we sell out!! **๐ŸŽซ ๐Ÿ”ฅ REGISTER here (not via meetup.com) - follow this link:** https://luma.com/sw4rj3l5 โ€‹Come for the builds, stay for the drinks, leave with a to-do list you're genuinely excited about. โ€‹Massive thanks to our partners making this happen: **Rippling**, **Deel** & **Hola** ๐Ÿ™Œ โ€‹See you there, Sydney! We cannot wait! ๐Ÿ™ˆ Pam, Emer & Anthony **#NJAMEETUP Crew** **P.S. A little housekeeping...** **No refunds, but easily transferable.** We wish we could, but ticket numbers feed straight into our catering orders - so unfortunately we can't offer refunds. BUT if you can't make it, please feel free to pass your ticket on to a friend! Just drop us a note at **[team@sydneytalentmeetup.com](mailto:team@sydneytalentmeetup.com)** with the name change and we'll sort it out. โ€‹**A welcome to our partners.** While these meetups are mainly for our internal People & Talent community, we highly value and appreciate our consultants and recruitment partners also - so we've set aside a 5% ticket allocation for you. You're welcome to join and please grab a spot while you can!
