From Insurance & Insurtech Events

# ​An evening for students (or anyone curious about a career in insurance) to meet seasoned professionals working within the insurance industry — panel talks and networking, and a shot at winning a free 1-on-1 one hour insurance career consultation. ​Forget everything you think you know about a career in insurance. It's one of the biggest, most human industries out there — and it's HIRING. The CC:OVER is bringing together seasoned recruiters and insurance professionals from across the industry for one relaxed evening of real talk about what these jobs actually look like. **\*\*\* ACCEPTING REGISTRATION VIA LUMA LINK ONLY: (https://luma.com/oflce7nf)** ​**🕔 How the evening runs** * ​5:00 – 5:30pm — Doors open. Grab a coffee, settle in, meet a few faces before things kick off. * ​5:30 – 7:00pm — Panel sessions and Q&A. Hear directly from people working across the industry — what they do, how they got there, and what they wish someone had told them at uni. * ​7:00 – 8:00pm — Networking. Swap the panel format for real conversations — ask the questions you didn't want to ask in front of a room. ​**🎤 Meet the panel (lineup TBC)** We're locking in speakers across the breadth of the industry, including: * ​Recruiters * ​Underwriters * ​Brokers * ​Insurtech founders * ​Claims * ​Actuaries ​Full names and bios to be announced closer to the date — different job, different path into the industry, every one of them. ​**🎁 Why you'll want to be in the room** * ​An exclusive lifestyle perk, for every attendee * ​The chance to win a free 1-on-1 careers consultation with a highly regarded veteran of the industry. * ​First access to future CC:OVER events, before anyone else hears about them ​ ​**📍 The details** * ​Free entry * ​Sydney CBD - UTS STARTUPS * ​Open to university students or anyone curious about a career in insurance, risk, actuary or insurtech — no experience or existing industry knowledge needed. ​Come with questions. Leave with a much clearer idea of what a career in this industry could actually look like. *** ## ​Further instructions ​This event is free but RSVP is essential **via Luma link (https://luma.com/oflce7nf)** as spots are limited — we'll follow up closer to the date with full panel bios.

AI Engineer Workshop:Build production-grade AI agents

AI Engineer Workshop:Build production-grade AI agents

Sat, Oct 24, 11:00 PM
From AI Circle - JR Academy
4.3

**Spend a day building an AI agent from scratch and learning what it takes to run it reliably in a real business environment.** *Learn the foundations of AI engineering and prepare for Anthropic certification.* With today’s models and developer tools, building an AI agent is becoming easier. You can get it to answer questions, call tools, and deliver a working demo. But real business workflows bring more challenges. Is the system architecture appropriate? How do you troubleshoot failed tool calls? How do you know whether the agent has completed a task well? And once it’s live, how do you monitor its performance and manage its behaviour? **Running agents successfully in production takes practical engineering experience and sound judgement.** Join **Roy** for a hands-on **AI Engineer Workshop** combining practical exercises with real enterprise case studies. You’ll learn how to design and develop agents with production requirements in mind, connecting system design, tool integration, evaluations, and operational management. Along the way, you’ll explore the key decisions involved in taking an agent from a prototype to a real business application. ## 🛠️ What will you learn? The workshop covers four core topics: * **AI System Design** Understand how an agent’s components and task workflows fit together. Learn how to organise models, tools, and their interactions, and explore how business requirements shape architecture and technology choices. * **MCP \| Tool Integration** Learn the role of Model Context Protocol in agent development. Explore how agents connect to external tools and capabilities, turning model outputs into concrete actions. * **Evaluations \| Agent Quality and Performance** Learn how to assess task completion and whether results meet your requirements. Use testing and evaluations to identify problems and guide improvements. * **AI Observability & Governance** Understand how to trace an agent’s execution, investigate failures, and define permissions and behavioural boundaries so the system is easier to monitor, manage, and maintain. Here’s how you’ll put it into practice: work through concrete tasks, build and test your agent, and refine your approach based on the results. Roy will also share real enterprise examples of how these engineering challenges are identified and addressed. ## 🎯 What will you gain? The workshop connects technical practice, certification preparation, and career development through three areas: * **Hands-on experience building an agent from scratch** Learn design and development approaches for production environments. Understand how architecture, tool integration, evaluations, and operational management work together, giving you a foundation for further project work. * **Anthropic Certification Walkthrough** Explore Anthropic certification pathways and preparation priorities, connecting the workshop topics with your next steps in certification study. * **AI Engineer Interview Guide** Understand AI Engineer interview structures and preparation priorities. Learn how to organise and communicate your project experience, technical thinking, and design decisions. You’ll leave with practical experience across key areas of AI engineering and a clearer understanding of what to study and practise next. ## 👥 Who is this workshop for? * Developers experimenting with agents who want to understand the engineering requirements of production environments. * Software developers interested in AI system design and agent development. * People studying AI engineering who want practical experience with tool integration, evaluations, and operational management. * Professionals exploring AI for enterprise workflows who want to understand the journey from prototype to business application. * Anyone preparing for Anthropic certifications or exploring AI Engineer interview preparation. ## Meet your instructor: Roy **AI Engineer @ [V2.ai](http://V2.ai)** Roy has worked on agentic AI and software development projects at companies including Deloitte, bringing extensive practical experience in AI engineering. His work spans **global supply chain risk management, invoice processing automation, and software development productivity**. He specialises in applying AI to real business challenges, helping organisations solve complex problems and improve team efficiency. Roy holds the following Claude certifications: * Claude Certified Architect – Professional * Claude Certified Architect – Foundations * Claude Certified Developer – Foundations ## Event details **Date:** Sunday, 25 October 2026 **Time:** 10:00 am–4:00 pm, Melbourne local time (AEDT) **Location:** Melbourne City **Format:** In-person, hands-on workshop **Language:** English **Price:** $389 ## Join the workshop **Build an AI agent and develop a clearer understanding of the engineering decisions needed to take it into production.**
