Shipping with AI

Wed, Nov 11, 7:00 AM

From Shipping with AI - Tips for Design, PM & Engineering in SaaS

4.7

// OVERVIEW The Shipping with AI meetup (formerly UX Design in SaaS) has partnered with the [Outlook AI Conference 2026](https://theoutlook.io/events/outlook-ai) to bring you an in-person evening as part of the conference activities. Shipping with AI is a meetup for designers, product managers and engineers who want to move past the hype and learn how AI is actually being used to build and ship real products. No theory-heavy keynotes. Just demos, real workflows and practical tips you can take back to your team the next day. // WHAT IS HAPPENING Our three speakers come at AI from different angles: delivery in regulated industries, engineering and AI agents, and design quality. They'll each share how their teams are shipping with AI right now. That includes the tools, the workflows, what's working, and what they've learned the hard way. Expect presentations, live demos, Q&A, drinks, food, games, prizes and plenty of time to network. // WHEN 6:00 – 8:30pm, Wednesday 11th November // WHERE Nintex Offices, Level 14, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000 // WHY COME ALONG * See it, don't just hear about it. Live demos of real AI workflows, not slides about the future. * Practical takeaways. Tips and tricks you can try with your team straight away. * Three perspectives in one night. Delivery, engineering and design, so you get the full picture of what it takes to ship with AI. * Ask the hard questions. How do you keep AI output on-brand? How do you bring AI into regulated businesses safely? How do you give coding agents the right context? * Meet your people. Connect with Melbourne designers, PMs and engineers working through the same challenges. * It's free, and there's food, drinks and prizes. // OUR SPEAKERS ANASTAS MANOJLOVSKI – Technical Director, Whitefox Cloud Consulting Anastas has spent 20 years where customers, sales and engineering meet. He specialises in turning messy problems into solutions that actually get delivered. At Whitefox he leads sales and delivery for clients in financial services, insurance, health and logistics, and oversees 25+ engineers across Australia and offshore.

Before Whitefox, he spent nine years at Whispir, including five as AU/NZ Head of Solution Architecture. Anastas brings a grounded view on getting AI into regulated businesses without creating new risk.

Becoming Zen with CSS

Thu, Oct 29, 6:30 AM

From Women Coders (Melbourne)

4.8

From tables, to floats, to flex, to grid, from Bootstrap to Tailwind to CSS modules and more, CSS has evolved and changed a lot over the years. Whether creating a design system or just trying to center a button, CSS is a powerful and often misunderstood part of software development. In this session we will go back to basics, learning the fundamentals of CSS and applying them in your very own CSS Zen Garden project. CSS Zen Garden was introduced in 2013, all designs start with the same HTML file and rely on just the power of CSS to make unique and eye catching designs. No experience with CSS or HTML or code is required. Participation requires minimal set up as it has been designed to empower everyone to create an entry by the end of the session that is unique to them. **Agenda:** 5:30 - 6:00 Networking 6:00 - 7:00 Workshop 7:00 - 7:30 Networking **Sponsors:** This event is sponsored by Stile Education. Thanks for empowering women and allies to excel in their technology careers 💙

Join us for another exciting **in-person** Product Tank event! The event is free, but seats are limited—secure yours now for a fantastic opportunity to meet the speakers and connect with the community. **Event outline** James Ross, CTO of SEEK, sits down for an informal fireside chat on AI transformation. No slides, just questions: • What building with AI on the side has changed about how he thinks about engineering at seek • What's been tried, what's worked and what hasn't • Where it's hardest: people, process or tooling • The experiments he's most excited to run next • His advice to other leaders **About James** James has spent about half of his four decades in tech as a programmer and tech lead, and the other half as a senior manager and leader across startups, scale-ups and corporates. He's had more luck than he thinks is fair, and is one of the only people you'll meet who's written a book you can buy on Amazon, music you can listen to on Spotify and software you can buy online as well. He's very excited about getting his coding mojo back thanks to AI and although he failed to get either of his daughters into tech, he's going to try again with his two grandkids! Don’t miss this opportunity to gain invaluable insights and network with industry experts! **This is an in-person only event.** Doors open 12:15pm, core session from 12:30-1:30pm.
