SUMMARY:From Prototype to Proof: How Startups De-Risk Design with Simulation
DESCRIPTION:In this practical\, demo-led session\, Dassault Systèmes will show how founders can shorten iteration cycles and de-risk performance by using simulation early in the design process—without turning engineering into a research exercise. \nThrough live demonstrations in robotics and aeronautics\, you’ll see how design changes translate directly into performance insights. You’ll also hear from iHawk Global\, a Dassault Systèmes startup client\, as they share the real challenge they faced\, how simulation changed their approach\, and the tangible outcomes they achieved. \nWhat attendees will gain\n\nA practical founder framework to reduce prototype loops and accelerate decision-making\nTwo live demos (robotics and aeronautics) showing design change → performance insight\nA real startup case study (iHawk) with lessons learned and key takeaways\nClear next steps to access startup guidance\, tools\, and discount pathways

SUMMARY:MRIWA: Why Do We Need Minerals Research?
DESCRIPTION:Understanding the mining life cycle offers students a powerful real‑world example of why STEM skills matter. From exploration to closure and even beyond—every stage relies on scientific research\, creative problem‑solving\, and evidence‑based environmental stewardship. This event will unpack how geoscientists\, chemists\, engineers\, data analysts\, ecologists and innovators work together to find minerals more sustainably\, minimise impact\, protect ecosystems\, and restore land long after mining ends. \nBy showing students how scientific thinking drives cleaner technologies\, greener processes\, and smarter resource use\, we can inspire the next generation of STEM leaders to imagine and create the low‑footprint mines of the future. Join us to discover how minerals research can energise your science classroom and empower students to tackle global sustainability challenges. \nThrough inspiring keynotes\, interactive panels\, and honest conversations\, we’ll challenge misconceptions and empower students to see minerals research as a pathway to meaningful\, real‑world impact. \nWe invite you and your students to register your interest in our inaugural event\, designed to spark curiosity\, encourage lateral thinking\, and support aspiring young leaders as they imagine the low‑footprint\, environmentally responsible mines of the future.

DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday 30 April at Riversmith for a relaxed evening of community and connection with Four on the Floor as we bring together four creative thinkers for unscripted open conversation. \nJust good thinking\, honest stories and the kind of conversations that only happen when interesting people share the same floor. What follows is an open conversation about creativity\, process\, failure\, success\, the messy business of making ideas real and everything in between. \nAll welcome – this is an opportunity to meet and chat with other like-minded people in our industry. Registering is essential for our planning and catering we hope to see you there! \nThanks to Riversmith\, Creative Tech Village\, Dormilona and Beerfarm – supporting the creative industries.

SUMMARY:CSIRO Conversations: Quantum for Every Business
DESCRIPTION:Quantum is moving fast and it’s already creating real opportunities for Australian businesses. This event unpacks what’s real and what’s coming next.\nQuantum is at the same stage AI was a decade ago\, quietly moving from research labs into real world tools. This event helps industry understand what’s real\, what’s hype\, and where the near term opportunities lie and who can help. Where today’s computers check one option at a time\, quantum can explore many possibilities at once. That makes it powerful for decision making and resource management when it comes to things like routing trucks\, detecting minerals\, managing patients in a hospital\, securing communications or modelling new materials. \nQuantum is becoming practical and commercially relevant far sooner than most businesses expect. It’s already emerging in: \n\nSupply chains: quantum inspired optimisation is helping logistics companies reduce fuel use and manage disruptions.\nFinance: banks are exploring quantum safe encryption to protect transactions.\nQuantum sensing: ultra precise measurements for mining\, agriculture\, health and defence.\n\nOur expert panellists will translate a complex emerging technology into a grounded\, industry relevant discussion on: \n\nWhat quantum technologies can do today.\nWhat’s coming next.\nHow Australian businesses can prepare responsibly and competitively.\nHow quantum intersects with supply chain resilience\, national security\, and economic pressures.\n\nPre-submit your questions to the expert panellists ahead of the webinar

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.
