If the event is sold out, get the tickets on Eventbrite: [https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/automate-your-business-with-ai-agents-ai-os-build-day-tickets-1991022202003](https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/automate-your-business-with-ai-agents-ai-os-build-day-tickets-1991022202003) **"I'm ready to automate my business and build AI Agents — not just hear about them."** Sound familiar? You're ready for the next step. In this full-day flagship, you'll set up a **Business AI OS** — the foundational system that holds a business's context, memory, and tool connections, and powers every AI Agent that runs on it. By the end of the day, you'll have built **two example AI Agents** on a Business AI OS (Operations in the morning, Social Media Automation in the afternoon), seen how they reinforce each other, and walk out with the option to book a free 1-hour follow-up consultation to map your next step. **What You'll Walk Out With** * **A working Business AI OS** set up on a real business scenario — the foundational layer that everything else builds on * **Two example AI Agents** running on the Business AI OS — Operations in the morning, Social Media Automation in the afternoon * **Hands-on experience** with how Agentic AI workflows reinforce each other and compound productivity * **A deeper foundation** in what makes Agentic AI work for a small and medium business owner * **An optional free 1-hour AI consultation** with our Young AI Engineers — to map out your next step **Who This Is For** * SME owners and founders ready to invest a full day building hands-on with Agentic AI * Small and medium business owners wanting to set up the foundational system that everything else builds on * Anyone curious about how Western Sydney businesses are already running on Agentic AI **What to Expect** * **Background** — what a Business AI OS is and why it's the foundation of running on Agentic AI * **Demo** — a live walk-through of a Business AI OS in action * **Two Hands-on Projects** — set up the Business AI OS in the morning (with an example Operations Agent), extend it with example Social Media Automation in the afternoon, all on a real business scenario * **Lunch + Networking** — meet other Western Sydney founders running on AI Agents * **Next Steps** — share-back and the option to book your free 1-hour AI consultation with our Young AI Engineers **Run on AI Agents Series — July 2026** * **Sat 4 Jul** · Automate Your Business Operations with AI Agents * **Sat 11 Jul** · Automate Your Content Creation and Social Media with AI Agents * **Sat 18 Jul** · Automate Your Marketing and Sales with AI Agents * **Sat 25 Jul** · Automate Your Business with AI Agents — AI OS Build Day *(full-day flagship)* **FAQ** * *What is a Business AI OS?* Think of it like a personal AI operating system for the business owner — the foundational layer that knows the business (context, knowledge, memory) and connects to your tools, so it can spawn the right AI Agent for whatever task needs doing. One foundation, many possibilities. * *Do I need to know anything about AI before I come?* The Build Day moves faster than the 2-hour tasters. We recommend attending at least one June taster first if you're brand new to AI — but it's not required. * *Do I need to bring a laptop?* No — WSTI provides a workstation for project activity. Bring your own if you'd like to keep tinkering afterward. * *What platform do you use?* We work with Claude Code and Claude Cowork — the same approach can be applied with other Agentic AI tools and platforms too. * *Do I need an AI licence to join?* No — WSTI provides everything you need to use during the workshop. * *Is lunch included?* Yes. * *What's the free 1-hour AI consultation?* After Build Day, every attendee is offered an optional 1-hour follow-up consultation — a chance to talk about your actual business, get personalised guidance, and map out the right next step. Take it up if it's useful; no pressure if not. ### **Notice of Photography and Filming** By entering this event, you acknowledge that photography, audio, and video recording may occur.

SydDT #128: When Does Design Become Strategic?
Wed, Jul 22, 8:00 AMMost designers want to be more strategic. But what does that actually mean? Is strategic design about working on bigger problems? Influencing executives? Creating visions and roadmaps? Driving transformation? Or are we confusing good design with strategic design? Join us for our July meetup where a panel of experienced strategic design leaders will explore one of the most debated questions in our profession: what makes design strategic? We’re lucky to have Dr Leanne Sobel, Jaimes Nel, Paul Merrell, and Lize Wordsworth sharing their insights with short lightning talks before we open up a panel discussion and audience conversation. We'll explore: * What strategic design is * What it isn’t – with common misconceptions and traps * How strategic design differs from other design disciplines * Where strategic design is heading * How designers can increase their strategic influence and impact Expect diverse perspectives, thoughtful discussions, and practical insights for designers at every stage of their career. Come join us for some fun conversations with interesting people in and around the design thinking community.
