SUMMARY:Bright Minds\, Bold Voices: Reimagining how we fly
DESCRIPTION:Bright Minds\, Bold Voices: Reimagining how we fly \nProject Sunrise is Qantas’ bold leap into the future of ultra-long-haul travel\, backed by evidence-based research by scientists at the Charles Perkins Centre\, University of Sydney. \nThis bold project has transformed fundamental discoveries about circadian biology into real-life impact – reimagining in-flight lighting\, movement\, nutrition and sleep to reduce jet lag and improve travellers’ wellbeing with scientifically measurable benefits. \nTheir research has informed the design of next-generation aircraft\, built with futuristic cabin features helping passengers arrive more rested\, alert\, and ready to go. \nIn conversation with ABC Canberra’s Lish Fejer\, we’ll hear from two leaders of the project: \n\nVanessa Hudson is Qantas Group CEO and Managing Director. She is leading the airline towards Project Sunrise take-off\, with the first flights scheduled for 2027.\nProfessor Stephen Simpson AC FAA FRS is leading the team of researchers from Charles Perkins Centre\, using real-world passenger data to enhance the in-flight experience and inform the next generation of specially designed ultra-long-range aircraft.\n\nThis event is for everyone including students\, professionals\, academics\, policymakers\, lifelong learners\, and those simply curious about how science is shaping our future.

SUMMARY:War 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\, high-energy 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 hard lessons. This is your chance to hear those stories\, stripped back and honest\, from people who’ve lived them. \nGrab a drink\, enjoy great food and music\, and settle into a relaxed evening of 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. Expect a fun\, informal (and slightly chaotic) night that goes beyond the usual event format. \n\nWar Stories of Medtech – https://events.humanitix.com/war-stories-of-medtech
