[Sydney] AI Meetup for Forward Deployed Engineering

Welcome to AI meetup in Sydney. Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agents, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. In September edition, we team up with Atlassian to focus on Forward Deployed Engineering. Driven by need to shift from prototypes to production, Forward Deployed Engineering is becoming one of the most valuable skill sets an engineer can develop. In this panel session led by practitioners, we will discuss the role of forward deployed engineers and how they bridge the gap between powerful AI models and real business outcomes. Panelists will be sharing real experience and challenges that come along with this role.
