SUMMARY:Building and selling a product that didn’t have a category - with Michael Kuzma.
DESCRIPTION:Michael Kuzma spent more than seven years building robotic self-playing guitars before figuring out if anyone would actually want one. \nIn this session\, Michael will share the practical lessons learned while creating and selling a product that sits somewhere between robotics\, music\, engineering and art. Working largely solo from Perth\, he went from having no clear market\, to viral attention\, to thousands of low-quality enquiries\, and eventually to a small number of highly qualified buyers around the world. \nThe journey forced him to rethink pricing\, marketing\, storytelling\, and what a sustainable business actually looks like when your product does not fit neatly into an existing category. \nMichael will unpack how he turned polarising online attention into global exposure\, redesigned his sales process to filter serious buyers from curious onlookers\, and learned to position a strange\, high-end hardware/art product for international customers willing to pay for it.

SUMMARY:GRDC NGN Agricultural Connectivity Out-of-the-Box
DESCRIPTION:Growers across all three GRDC regions report operating in “digital darkness”\, limiting their ability to use telematics\, automation\, and data-driven tools. More than half of growers surveyed by Grain Producers Australia cited connectivity and digital literacy gaps as core reasons for delaying investment in digital technology and automation. \nThe NGN Grains Adopt Online Workshop is a free\, two-session webinar delivered by Connected Farms as part of the GRDC NGN funded Agriculture Connectivity Out-of-the-Box program — providing practical\, independent guidance to help growers and agronomists get connected. \n\nSession 1 — Understanding Connectivity (50 min) What connectivity means for grain farming\, what technology options exist\, and how to assess your situation.\nSession 2 — Choosing & Implementing the Right Solution (50 min) How to select\, deploy\, and integrate the right connectivity solution for your farm and machinery systems.\n\nAttendees will gain the capability and confidence to implement fit-for-purpose connectivity solutions\, improve digital tool reliability\, and support progress towards automation. Agronomists can become endorsed connectivity advisors.
