GenAI Builders Meetup - Melbourne (Australia x Southeast Asia AI collaboration)
GenAI Builders Meetup — Melbourne
🗓 Tuesday, 19 May 2026
⏰ 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM (AEST)
📍 Melbourne, Australia
🤝 Co-hosted by GenAI Fund, Prime Value, and ecosystem partners
Southeast Asia’s AI builder ecosystem is moving fast — and we believe Australia has an important role to play in shaping what comes next.
GenAI Fund and Prime Value are bringing together a curated group of AI founders, engineers, researchers, enterprise innovation leaders, and ecosystem players in Melbourne for an intimate afternoon focused on AI collaboration between Australia and Southeast Asia.
This meetup is part of the road to Agentic AI Build Week — the largest AI buildathon in Southeast Asia, bringing together 2,000+ AI builders, startups, enterprises, and ecosystem leaders across the region this July.
This is not a typical networking event.
No corporate panels. No generic AI conversations. Just practical discussions with people actively building, deploying, and exploring where Agentic AI is heading next.
