Ecommerce Meetups Melbourne

From LGBT+ Melbourne Community Noticeboard

LLMs are too slow and too expensive for most of what an agent decides. That’s why TypeSafe’s Jev made such an impression in September: a new kind of model that makes decisions in milliseconds instead of generating text. In this hands-on workshop you’ll build with Strands Decider 2B, AWS’s open-source decision model, built on the same idea as Jev and running on your own laptop. Your agent makes its routine decisions locally, with no inference cost per decision, and calls an LLM only when it’s unsure. No prior AI or agent experience needed. Decision models, also called System One models, choose from options you define and return a calibrated confidence score in about a tenth of a second. Strands Decider 2B was released on 1 October and is a 1.9B-parameter model, small enough to run on a laptop. We’ll build a help desk triage agent, stage by stage, in Python or TypeScript: Ask the model a question: run Strands Decider 2B locally, ask it to choose a team for a message, and see the probabilities and confidence it returns. Ask several questions in one call: add urgency scoring and spam detection, run 20 real-world messages through it, and see why extra questions cost almost nothing. Let your code decide: add a confidence threshold and your own rules, and hand only the uncertain cases to a local LLM running in Ollama. Compare a 150 ms decision with a multi-second LLM call. Go live: plug your agent into a live board, sort messages as they’re typed, and watch them re-sort as you tune the threshold. We’ll finish with where this pattern fits: model routing, tool-call checking, guardrails, evaluations, and agent control. By the end you’ll have a working agent running entirely on your laptop, and a real sense of when to use a decision model, an LLM, or plain code. What to bring: Laptop with 8 GB RAM or more (Mac, Windows or Linux) Python 3.10+ installed (needed for both tracks) Node.js 24+ if you’re doing the TypeScript track Setup instructions will be sent before the event. Please download the model at home, as it’s a few GB. No AWS account, cloud credits or API keys needed. Skill level: Beginner. If you can run a Python or TypeScript file, you can follow along. No prior AI or agent development experience required.

Halloween Themed Community Camp (Healesville VIC | 1.5 Hours from Melbourne CBD)

Sat, Oct 17, 1:00 AM

4.8

**Registration is required at below link:** **Tickets: $50** https://events.humanitix.com/oot-and-aboot-community-camp-oct-2026-edition-or-healesville-vic-or-1-5-hours-from-melbourne-cbd Oot & Aboot’s Community Camp is a relaxed, low-pressure overnight camping experience designed to bring LGBTQIA+ people and allies together in nature — this time with a Halloween twist!. This is our sixth camping event, and we’re intentionally keeping it simple. There’s no packed schedule or expectations — just space to slow down, connect, and enjoy the outdoors in good company (maybe with a few pumpkins and cobwebs thrown in). Across one night, you can look forward to: * A self-paced 1.5 hour hike to Maroondah Reservoir Park (Saturday morning, optional) * A welcoming and inclusive camp environment, dressed up for the season * Lawn and board games * Swimming * Spooky storytelling around the campfire (bring a tale to share, or just come listen) * A Halloween-spirited campfire hangout — costumes and Halloween makeup welcome (but never required!) * Plenty of unstructured community time to talk, laugh, and connect * A simple self-serve breakfast on Sunday morning Feel free to bring a costume, some face paint or Halloween makeup, decorations for your site, or just your regular camping gear — however much (or little) Halloween spirit you're in the mood for is totally fine with us. This is an **adults-only (18+)** event with a maximum of **15 participants**, creating an intimate and friendly atmosphere. No prior camping experience is required. New: pre-event WhatsApp group For this event, we're trialling an opt-in WhatsApp group for confirmed ticket holders. It's a relaxed space to say hi, ask questions, or get to know a few faces before the day — especially handy if you're coming solo and want a bit of a heads-up on who else will be there. Joining is completely optional — your phone number may be visible to other members — and the group will be deleted 3 days after the event. The campsite is located in Healesville, VIC, approximately a 1.5-hour drive from Melbourne CBD. For safety and privacy reasons, the exact location will be provided only to confirmed ticket holders and can be found on the ticket sent via email after payment. Please remember to check your junk or spam folder if you don’t see it in your inbox. Know before you go: * Participants should bring their own camping gear (tent, sleeping bag, air mattress, pillow, etc.), warm clothes, food, cooking stove, utensils and drinks (except breakfast). Please reach out if you don't have any or missing some of the camping gear, we may have a solution for you * If you'd like to get into the Halloween spirit, feel free to bring a costume and/or Halloween makeup — face paint and makeup remover are worth packing if you go this route * Alcohol may be consumed responsibly * As a 100% volunteer-run charity, we are not able to guarantee accommodation of specific dietary or allergy requirements.

Product Smells: Clues That Your Product System Isn't Working as It Should

Tue, Oct 13, 6:30 AM

From ProductTank Melbourne

From Melbourne Comedy Lovers

After a 2 year hiatus ProductTank Melbourne is back!! Join us in person at the TeamForm offices in the CBD for the latest in practical insights, great discussions and interesting people. **Product Smells: Clues That Your Product System Isn't Working as It Should** Perfectly reasonable habits we encounter in our day-to-day product work can be clues that something deeper is wrong in the system around you. Are your colleagues a little too concerned with what the director thinks? Have your engineers stopped arguing with you? Is your Q2 plan all locked up nice and neat? This talk looks at those product smells: what they reveal, their root cause, and what you can do when you spot them. **Speaker: Jack Rust** Jack Rust is a Senior Product Manager at SEEK. Before moving into product, he worked as a software engineer — and before that, at a deli. He's interested in products that help people get their jobs done, the systems that help product managers build them, and why some systems make that work so hard. Jack is uncomfortable networking, so he speaks at meetups and conferences in the hope that the networking will happen to him instead. **When & Where** 5:30pm doors open, 6pm start TeamForm — Level 6, 278 Collins St (entrance next to Flight Centre, near Flinders Street Station) **On the night** 5:30 pm - Doors open with pizza provided by our hosts TeamForm 6:00 – 7:00pm: talk + discussion 7:00 – 8:00pm: networking, Come along, bring a friend and/or colleague, and come ready with a product smell of your own — you might just get it workshopped live.

JUGGER - soft-combat foam weapons, free to try!

Sat, Oct 10, 11:30 PM

5.0

It's Jugger time! Get on down to Hawthorn for fun, sun, exercise, and silly shenanigans! * ✅ Free to attend * ⚔️ Jugger Equipment is supplied * 🍜 Post-training social lunch - all welcome * ➡️ [Find us on Discord](https://discord.gg/WHnMyk56Cu) Jugger is an exciting, mixed-gender soft combat sport. Two teams use a selection of padded foam spars to tag opponents as they aim to put the jugg (the game ball) into their opponent's goal. **Watch Jugger being played in [this excellent short demo video](https://vimeo.com/28592980).** Jugger Melbourne training sessions include both full games of jugger, as well as a variety of training drills designed to promote **teamwork, communication, exercise, health and fitness, and teach core game skills.** After training we head across to Glenferrie Rd for lunch and socializing, which you are welcome (and encouraged!) to join. **‍🏃‍♀️‍➡️ New Player Info / Who Can Join** New players are always welcome! Our experienced coaches will teach you basics to get you and and swinging in no time Jugger is easy to pickup the basics while deep to master. We have a minimum age policy of 16 years (please note, anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a guardian), but other than that we welcome anyone of all fitness levels. Jugger is a great way to keep active, and a fun way to meet new people in a friendly and inclusive community! **👟 How to Join a Session and What to Bring** Joining is simple - just show up! RSVPing on Meetup or Discord is a big help as it helps us plan around expected numbers. You are also welcome to bring along any interested friends and family. **⚔️ Jugger equipment is supplied.** We have a collection of gear to loan out to new players. Bring a water bottle (there is a tap nearby), sunscreen, and wear comfortable clothes and shoes for running around in - and that you don't mind getting a bit dirty! Recommend but not required items include: sunglasses, football boots, kneepads, and gloves if you have them. You don't need any of these to get started, but you may find you want them if you become a regular. **✅ Are there any costs are involved?** Our training sessions are **free to attend** as often as you like, we are essentially just a group of friends that meet for training and socializing on the weekend. The Australian Jugger League has a voluntary annual membership that helps to support the sport (including maintaining equipment and paying for Meetup), and we encourage people to join once they become a regular attendee or begin attending tournaments. However there's no obligation so spend any money when you're first trying it out or just attending casually. **➡️ External Links** We organise our regular players through our Discord group and their attendance is not often represented in the Meetup attendance numbers (we use Meetup to reach out to new people). Events are also (though less regularly) posted to Facebook, while event photos and videos are shared on our Instagram. * [Join our Discord](https://discord.gg/WHnMyk56Cu) * [Jugger Melbourne on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/JuggerMelbourne) * [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/jugger_melbourne/) * [Australian Jugger League website](https://www.jugger.au/) \*\* See you on Sunday \*\*

Women in Cloud - Building on AWS

Tue, Oct 13, 6:30 AM

From Women in Cloud Meetup Group

4.9

**📍 Please note: This event will be hosted at the AWS Melbourne office. To arrange office access, please complete this [form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfPM_1FXJVi6R5VkLL6V6pfZNkNYeJyI6N39DECEJNd6G8IYQ/viewform?usp=dialog) by 12pm on 12 October. You must also bring a valid government-issued ID on the day of the event.** Join us for an evening of learning, networking, and knowledge sharing as we explore how organisations build resilient, reliable, and scalable cloud platforms on AWS. First, we will take you through **resilience in AWS**, exploring fault isolation, static stability, multi-Region architectures, and the patterns that help mission-critical workloads maintain availability through disruptions. Then we will focus on **agent design**, using AWS Bedrock AgentCore. Whether you're working in cloud, DevOps, platform engineering or simply keen to expand your knowledge of modern cloud technologies, we'd love to see you there! **Topics:** **1\. Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability\, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions** At AWS, based on years of working with customers, resilience is viewed as a continuous process. In this session, we'll explore how to design with AWS fault isolation boundaries, building on the concept of static stability to achieve predictable recovery times and high availability. We'll look at how AWS Regions are designed and operated for resilience, as well as key architectural patterns that AWS services use to maintain operations through disruptions. The session will provide practical insights into foundational patterns that enable mission-critical workloads to maintain availability at scale, along with best practices, design principles, and sample architectures to help you meet your resilience requirements effectively. **About the speaker** [Anshika Gupta](https://www.linkedin.com/in/anshika-gupta-18b469148/) is a Technical Account Manager for ANZ at [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/). **2\. Your next oncall buddy is an agent \- here's how to design it** What if your next oncall buddy could investigate incidents, gather evidence, reason about likely causes, and recommend the safest next step? In this whiteboard style session, we’ll use a familiar production incident to explore how to design an agent’s decision loop: what it should know, remember, do, and when it should stop or escalate. Along the way, we’ll map those design decisions to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore capabilities such as Runtime, Memory, Gateway, Policy, Observability, and Evaluations. The goal is not just to build a smarter agent, but to design its agency deliberately. **About the speaker** [Cathy](https://www.linkedin.com/in/geeklady/) is a Senior Cloud Consultant at [Mantel](https://mantelgroup.com.au/) and and an organiser of Women in Cloud Meetup. **Agenda:** **5:30pm** – Food and networking **6:00pm** – Presentation 1. Reinforcing Resilience in the Real World with Static Stability, Fault Isolation and Multiple Regions **6:45pm** – Presentation 2. Your next oncall buddy is an agent - here's how to design it **7:10pm** – Quiz **7:20pm** – Networking We are incredibly grateful to our sponsors **[AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/)** (looking forward to explore their beautiful Melbourne office), **[HAL Systems](https://www.halsystems.com.au/)** and **[REA Group](https://www.rea-group.com/)** for supporting our community. Join us for an evening of learning, meaningful conversations, and great company. We can’t wait to see you there!

An intimate singles night for ages 30–55 at Death & Co. Beautiful cocktails, warm introductions and room for real chemistry (session 2). **Some nights are made for bigger crowds. This one isn’t.** After Dark is a more intimate Kismetrix singles experience, created for people who appreciate a beautiful setting, great conversation and the opportunity to meet someone in a way that feels natural. For one Friday night, we’re bringing together a limited group of singles aged 30-55 at Death & Co. Melbourne — one of the city’s most atmospheric cocktail bars. Expect a sophisticated but relaxed evening where you can settle in with a drink, meet new people and let the night unfold without the pressure of speed dating or structured rotations. 📅 Friday 23 October 2026 🕕 Session 2 - 9:00 PM–11:00 PM — hosted event 📍 Death & Co Melbourne 87 Flinders Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000 👥 Singles aged 30–55 🥂 One standard drink included with every ticket **WHAT TO EXPECT** 🍸 An intimate cocktail-bar setting Dark, atmospheric and made for conversation, Death & Co. provides the perfect backdrop for a night that feels a little more special than your usual singles event. ✨ A smaller guest list We’re intentionally keeping this event more intimate. Rather than trying to meet everyone in the room, you’ll have the opportunity to slow down, have better conversations and see where genuine chemistry develops. 🤝 Warm, hosted introductions Coming alone is completely normal. Our Kismetrix hosts will be there throughout the evening to welcome guests, help make introductions and create a comfortable atmosphere — without forcing conversations or putting anyone on the spot. ❤️ The Second Look Sometimes the most interesting connection happens just as the night is coming to an end. Before you leave, you’ll have the opportunity to privately let Kismetrix know if there is someone you would genuinely like to see again. If the interest is mutual, we’ll help reconnect you after the event. No awkward announcements. No public rejection. Just a simple way to give a promising connection another chance. **THIS IS NOT SPEED DATING** There are no five-minute rotations. No interview-style conversations. No pressure to make an instant decision about every person you meet. After Dark is about creating the right environment for people to connect naturally. Have a drink. Join a conversation. Meet someone new. Stay a little longer when the conversation is good. **WHO IS IT FOR?** This event is designed for single men and women aged 30-55 who are open to genuine connection and enjoy meeting people face-to-face. Whether you’re looking for a relationship, hoping to meet someone unexpected or simply ready to get off the apps and back into real life, you’re welcome. You don’t need to bring a friend. Many of our guests attend Kismetrix events on their own, and our team will make sure you feel welcomed from the moment you arrive. **DRESS** Friday night polished. Think drinks somewhere beautiful, date-night energy and whatever makes you feel most like yourself. **LIMITED PLACES** After Dark has been deliberately designed as a smaller Kismetrix experience. Places will be limited, with ticket availability managed to create the best possible atmosphere and balance in the room. If this feels like your kind of night, we recommend booking early. A beautiful room. Good drinks. Better conversation. And perhaps, a little chemistry. Welcome to After Dark by Kismetrix.
