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.

Claude Code from Zero to Hero 201: Turn Messy Work Into Smart Workflows

The professionals who get the most out of AI aren't using it as a smarter search engine, they've taught it their workflow. In this hands-on 201 workshop, you'll build reusable Claude "skills", connect the tools you already use, and automate the recurring tasks that eat your calendar. Less busywork. Better output. More time for the work that matters. **What You'll Do** * Turn a messy spreadsheet into a polished, presentable report in minutes, that frustrating kind that usually eats your afternoon. * Build a reusable skill: your personalised workflow that Claude executes on demand without re-prompting. * Connect the tools you already use, calendar, social, messaging, so it helps where your work actually happens. * Set up a recurring digest or weekly summary that arrives without you lifting a finger. **You'll Walk Out With** * A polished work output created during the session. * A reusable workflow you can apply again. * A stronger understanding of how AI can reduce repetitive work. * More confidence turning information into useful business outputs. * A practical next step toward automation. **Who This Is For** * Working professionals who deal with reports, admin, documents or research. * Consultants and freelancers who want to produce better outputs faster. * Founders and operators who want to streamline repeat work. * People who have tried AI and want to use it more systematically. * Anyone with basic AI experience who wants to move from prompting to a Claude Code based workflow design. * 101 is helpful, but not required. You can drop into 201 directly if you already have basic confidence using AI tools. **Event Details** **📅 Tuesday 21 July 2026** **🕕 6:00–8:30 PM** **📍 Western Sydney Startup Hub, 5 Fleet Street, North Parramatta** **🎯 Level 201 · Intermediate · Basic AI familiarity helpful** **Tickets** **$29 per session ($19 for Early-Bird).** No prerequisite, each session stands alone.

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY DINNER WITH JENNI AT THE RANCH IN NORTH RYDE

SydDT #128: When Does Design Become Strategic?

Most 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. New members are welcome! **SPEAKERS** **[Dr Leanne Sobel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lsobel/)** **Adjunct Fellow, UTS Business School** Leanne is a strategic designer, researcher, and educator. Her PhD research explored the role of design in strategy, and her work focuses on applying design practices, systems thinking, and participatory approaches to complex organisational challenges. With experience spanning consulting, academia, and industry, Leanne is a leading voice in the evolving field of strategic design. **[Jaimes Nel](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaimesnel/)** **Founder, Path Ventures** Jaimes is the founder of Path Ventures, a Sydney-based consultancy helping organisations connect strategy to action through design-led approaches. With more than 20 years of experience spanning service design, digital transformation, and organisational change, Jaimes has worked with organisations including the NHS, BBC, GOV.UK, Westpac, ING, and TAL. His work focuses on helping organisations “play the long game” by using strategic design to navigate complexity and deliver lasting change. **[Paul Merrell](https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-merrell-9861846/)** **Senior Service Designer, Allianz** Paul is a design leader and strategist with extensive experience applying service design and human-centred approaches to organisational transformation. Currently with Allianz Australia, Paul works at the intersection of customer experience, business strategy and change, helping organisations navigate complexity and deliver meaningful outcomes. His work is grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens when strategy connects with the realities of people, systems and delivery. **[Lize Wordsworth](https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizewordsworth/)** **Group Head of Business Architecture & Design, Westpac Group** Awesome bio coming soon… **EVENT SPONSORS** This event is brought to you by [Atlassian](https://www.atlassian.com/), [Shapeshifters](https://www.sh8peshifters.com/), and [Dynamic4](https://dynamic4.com/).

NYT Article - Elon Musk Confirms Ancient Concerns About the Superrich

**Elon Musk Confirms Ancient Concerns About the Superrich, June 21, 2026. By David Lay Williams** *Dr. Williams is a professor of political science who studies the role of economic inequality in the history of political thought.* *Ever since Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire, people have been trying to grasp the scale of his incomprehensible fortune.* Sam Alexander explores the dynamic between the wealth of Elon Musk and the teachings of Plato, Aristotle, Solon, Polybius, and Cicero. **On the second Monday of the month, Philo Agora has a speaker on a philosophical topic and a Q&A and discussion after. On the fourth Monday we meet again for open philosophical discussion.** Philo Agora's format is a talk for 20 minutes starting at 7:15 for 7:30. The presenter then answers any questions of clarification from the floor. We then take a break of 5 minutes for more coffee and to mull over the talk and discuss it within small groups. The microphone is then passed around the audience for comment, opinion, and often counter argument to a maximum of 3 minutes. The presenter is then given a 5 minute right of reply. We usually finish up at 9pm. The cover charge is $5 for the talk. There are tea and coffee facilities available in-house. Sam Alexander - Convener (0457 749 310)

Don't prompt the Solution: Build the Brain

Welcome Back CCX Sydney to our Events for 2026 from myself, Lydia, Sylvia and James and we are planning a bumper selection of speakers for the new year. Our next event on July 21st will be a interactive AI tools workshop facilitated by our very own James Earnshaw and from Faster Zebra Charbel Zeaiter who will both be showing and helping our CCX members move beyond the prompt and start using AI more effectively to deepen Design discovery. As this will be a workshop, will be applying a $10.00 cover charge to cover Food and drinks and on this occasion will be kindly hosted by our new friends at Lorikeet. Details below on the venue location (Surry Hills) **IMPORTANT NOTE FOR THIS SESSION!** **An Important detail is that due to gaining entry to Lorikeet we will need any CCX Member planning to attend this session to supply us with their First and Last name in advance of attending.** On this occasion we will not be able to accept Members who do not supply these details. Many thanks CCX Sydney. PLEASE NOTE Attendees please bring your own Laptops and your favourite AI prompting tools installed ready to use. **About the workshop** AI is often framed as a way to move faster: faster ideas, faster wireframes, faster outputs. But for designers, that may be the least interesting use case. This session explores how AI can be used at the beginning of the design process — during discovery, framing and definition — not to replace design thinking, but to amplify it. Drawing on the Double Diamond, service design and UX discovery practices, we’ll look at how small, deliberate interactions with AI can build a shared “project brain”: a strategic thinking partner that understands the context, constraints, users, assumptions, risks and emerging opportunities. This is not a talk about agents. It is not a demo of one tool. It is a practical exploration of how the skills designers already have — framing, questioning, synthesis, critique and sense-making — become even more valuable when working with AI. Part talk, part workshop, attendees will try a step-by-step discovery flow for themselves and explore how AI can help them stay in the problem space longer before jumping to solutions. About James: James Earnshaw is a UX and product design leader who has spent his career helping teams make sense of complex problems across telecommunications, banking and financial services. With a background in service design, discovery, design systems and enterprise product delivery, James is interested in how strong design process helps teams avoid rushing to the first plausible answer. Recently, he has been using that experience to develop a new way of working with AI — one that leans into the Double Diamond, structured discovery and step-by-step context building to turn AI into a sharper strategic partner, rather than just a faster content generator. About Charbel: With 27+ years across design, tech, education, entrepreneurship, and product, I’ve built things that breathe across four continents. From shop floors to strategy rooms, classrooms to fabric cutting rooms, I’ve helped companies and people shape their vision and make it tangible. Right now, Charbel is focused on: • Neupreneur (coming soon) • Faster Zebra: learning for the new economy • Velvet Onion & Friends: an innovation and product development agency • Febble Flim & Family: fictional worlds that dance too close to the edge of reality And now, I'm bringing these vast experiences to life: Young Founders, The Innovators, XD4.0 & Brand Mavericks: kits and books for mindset-first founders building ventures that open up a world of possibility. If you're to explore something - conventional, unconventional, or completely undefined - I’d love to hear what you’re working on. Good things come to those who make. Therefore don't miss out on a place at our second interactive workshop CCX Sydney event for 2026, as places will be limited for this session.

Claude Code from Zero to Hero 101: Get AI to Handle Your Inbox & Writing

You've probably tried AI before, to rewrite an email, summarise a document, or deal with admin. Sometimes it was impressive. Sometimes it missed the point.

Adaptive Leadership in an AI World: Embracing Chaos

**What if your greatest leadership advantage wasn't having all the answers...but knowing how to respond when no one does?** Today's leaders face constant disruption. Artificial intelligence is reshaping industries. Markets shift overnight. Teams evolve. Plans rarely unfold exactly as expected. The leaders who thrive aren't those with the perfect strategy—they're the ones who can adapt, collaborate and create possibilities in the moment. Inspired by the principles of improvisational theatre, this highly interactive experience is designed to strengthen one of the most essential leadership capabilities of our time: the ability to respond with confidence, creativity and resilience when the script disappears. Through a series of engaging warm-up activities, team challenges and experiential exercises, you'll develop the mindset and skills to embrace uncertainty rather than resist it. Along the way, you'll discover how trust, presence and collaboration unlock better decisions and stronger leadership under pressure. Together we'll explore how to respond when: * Plans fall apart and you need to pivot quickly. * The situation changes halfway through. * You're working with unfamiliar people. * Critical information is missing. * The brief is unclear—or completely wrong. * Outcomes don't match intentions. This isn't about acting. It's about learning to become more adaptable, resourceful and confident in situations where certainty simply isn't available. Whether you're a business leader, entrepreneur, consultant, coach or emerging leader, you'll gain practical experience in thinking on your feet while connecting with other professionals who are equally committed to growing their leadership capacity. You'll leave with: * Greater confidence navigating uncertainty. * Improved adaptability and creative problem-solving. * Stronger collaboration and communication skills. * A deeper appreciation that leadership isn't about controlling every outcome—it's about responding skilfully to whatever emerges. The future won't reward those who cling to the script. It will reward those who can create the next chapter together. 🎟️This is a ticketed event. Register and reserve your spot at: [https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607372](https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1607372) Ticket includes snacks, a healthy plant-based meal and drinks. **Hosted by:** Utopia Rising delivers unconventional social experiences for self-improvement seekers looking to broaden their network or simply be inspired by life again. It’s a party reimagined - alcohol-free, featuring healthy plant-based food. [www.utopiarising.com.au](https://www.utopiarising.com.au)
