SUMMARY:Stop Writing Code like it's April 2026!
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, Aidan Morgan will draw on twelve months of hands-on experimentation with agentic engineering teams assembled for an AI-first delivery model. \nHe’ll introduce a mental model for AI-first delivery\, share how he’s using deterministic tooling to create fast\, automated backpressure to keep agents on track\, and challenge some long-held assumptions about software delivery. \nIf you’ve been wondering how to move beyond “AI-assisted coding” and into genuinely agentic software delivery\, this one’s for you.

SUMMARY:Off the Record | Real Stories of Medtech
DESCRIPTION:Ready to unwind after AusMedTech? Or couldn’t make it but still want to connect with the WA medtech community? This is the event for you. \nJoin us for a short\, lively panel hosted by Dr Michael Challenor\, where medtech founders share their real\, unfiltered “pound the table” moments – the highs\, the setbacks\, and everything in between. \nWe don’t often talk about failure in Australia\, but behind every “overnight success” is a story of persistence\, pivots and lessons learned. This is your chance to hear those stories\, stripped back and honest\, from those who’ve lived them. \nGrab a drink\, enjoy great food and music\, and settle into an evening of relaxed networking. Whether you’re a founder\, researcher\, investor or industry professional\, it’s the perfect setting to connect\, swap stories and meet others in the ecosystem. \nExpect a fun\, informal (and slightly chaotic) night that goes beyond the usual event format. Don’t miss it – secure your ticket now.
