08:45Registration and networking

You have heard enough about AI.

  • It will ten-times your team by Friday.
  • Just add agents.
  • This changes everything. Again.
  • The last tool you will ever need.

Outlook: AI is a day of honest accounts of where AI is genuinely delivering in real teams right now, and grounded views on where it goes next. Curated for impact, chosen for pragmatism over hype.

All day
Talks and fireside conversations with the leaders and builders putting AI to work.
Roundtables
Small, expert-facilitated groups that go deeper into the day's themes.
Between sessions
Real time set aside to meet presenters, facilitators and peers.

For product, design, engineering and leadership people from across Australia.

A seating plan in the shape of The Outlook's arch fills with 325 seats, tilts back like a room seen from above, and becomes a photograph of an Outlook crowd waving up at the camera.
