[Sydney] AI Meetup for Forward Deployed Engineering

​Welcome to AI meetup in Sydney. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers.

​In September edition, we team up with Atlassian to focus on Forward Deployed Engineering.

​Driven by need to shift from prototypes to production, Forward Deployed Engineering is becoming one of the most valuable skill sets an engineer can develop.
