Community Meetup: Brisbane
Join Us for Another In-Person Evening with the Brisbane PreSales Community!
Whether you’re a seasoned Solutions Engineer or just starting your Presales journey, this is your space to connect, learn, and grow alongside peers. Leaders can share insights, emerging talent can shine, and those mentoring or collaborating will feel right at home.
This time, we’re introducing Community Lightning Talks, quick, high-impact sessions where local SEs share powerful ideas on mindset, communication, and more. Think TEDx meets tech presales, short, sharp, and packed with value.
We’ll then move into a panel discussion with SE leaders from Dynatrace, Splunk, and UiPath, exploring how AI is reshaping workflows, boosting performance, and freeing up time for what matters most.
The evening starts with beers on tap and ends with stronger connections. Come for the insights, stay for the relationships, and leave inspired.
