SUMMARY:Freo Founders Sundowner hosted by Greenroom Robotics
DESCRIPTION:A casual event with no agenda but with a mission to inspire and help founders grow by sharing successes\, failures and a few laughs. Founders who have been there and done that\, and those just starting out and looking for a group to learn from and vent with\, are all welcome. \nGreenroom Robotics are opening their doors to their Fremantle HQ for a night of good chat\, cold drinks and a look at what they’ve been building here in the port city. They are a team of around 40 building autonomy software for the maritime industry\, from their home base in Freo out to vessels operating around the world. They started as founders with a vision to make safe\, clean and protected oceans\, so hosting a room full of people at every stage of that journey is something they are genuinely excited about. \nJoining will be angel investors\, VCs and founders from all sorts of industries\, whether you’re raising\, scaling or still sketching the idea on a napkin or have a passion your are commercialising.

SUMMARY:Fast Doesn’t Mean Right: Product Thinking in the Age of AI
DESCRIPTION:AI has fundamentally changed the economics of innovation. We can generate ideas\, prototypes and working software in hours rather than months. But while our ability to build has accelerated dramatically\, our ability to make the right decisions has not.\nAs execution becomes cheaper\, judgement becomes the new competitive advantage. \nIn this thought-provoking session\, Philippe Delalande explores why the organisations that thrive in the age of AI won’t necessarily be those that build the fastest\, but those that consistently choose the right problems\, align people around a shared intent\, and turn technology into meaningful outcomes. \nDrawing on lessons from product strategy\, human-centred design and enterprise transformation\, Philippe shares practical approaches to improving discovery\, strengthening collaboration across disciplines\, and making better investment decisions from idea through to delivery. \nBecause in the age of AI\, building fast is no longer enough. The real advantage lies in building the right thing together.

SUMMARY:Perth AI Builders Get Together
DESCRIPTION:​Perth AI Builders is a new community meetup focused on the practical side of AI\, especially the fast-moving world of LLMs\, agentic workflows\, AI tooling and startup building. \n​At this session\, Marcus Holmes will be giving a talk on “how to use an LLM to actually build something”\, going through the process from simple chatbot copy/paste to multi-layered agentic coding. \n​This session is aimed at relatively inexperienced folks\, but as everyone has developed their own workflow\, even the more experienced vibe-coders may find something interesting here. And the principles shown here for software development can also be applied to other areas.

SUMMARY:Non-Coding AI Use : An easy way to kill your startup
DESCRIPTION:AI is now the cheapest advisor in the room – and that’s exactly the problem. \nEarly-stage founders are increasingly turning to AI for the advice they can’t yet afford: drafting legal agreements\, preparing patent applications\, working through R&D tax claims\, setting up company structures. Used well\, with the right expertise behind it\, AI is a powerful tool. Used without the knowledge to spot when it’s wrong\, it’s a fast and expensive way to do real damage to your startup. \nJoin Experia Growth and our expert sponsors for a sharp\, one-hour lunchtime session on where non-coding AI use goes wrong – and what to do instead. \nThis is for early-stage and aspiring founders who are already leaning on AI to fill the gaps\, and want to understand the risks before they become expensive.
