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: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.
