After a break, We are back! Excited to meet new faces and kick-start more conversations. The objective of this event is to get comfortable with the idea of talking to strangers. You are free to talk, or just observe. Networking is critical for success here in Australia, and if not now - when? There is no agenda to this and anyone is welcome. Just come along and join a random bunch of strangers for a walk in the city. As this is a test run, we'll go by the flow after meeting at 300 Flinders St. Please arrive on time at the location as we may move from the start. As it's a short event, latecomers are not entertained. I will update the live location in the comments at 12.20 pm We may move/walk 10 mins after the beginning of the event. Follow us with the live location that I share in the comments Note : Please update your RSVP if you are unable to make it. We are all taking time of our busy schedule to make this happen.

True Tao

Sat, Oct 3, 9:30 AM

From TaoSeeker

What is the **True Tao**? Is Tao merely a Chinese religion, a cultural tradition, or a philosophy from ancient China? Or does the word “Tao” point to something far deeper — a universal source beyond name, form, culture, and belief? In this introductory Tao Seeker session, we will explore the meaning of **True Tao** as the universal origin behind all existence — the nameless source described by Lao Tzu in Chapter 25 of the *Tao Te Ching*: > “There was something amorphous, coming into existence before Heaven and Earth… > I do not know its name, and I designate it by the term Dao.” Over time, the word “Tao” has often become associated with Taoism as a religion, together with its cultural practices, rituals, symbols, and traditions. While these traditions have their own value, Tao Seeker invites us to look beyond the outer form and return to the original essence that Lao Tzu was pointing towards. This session will ask: What did Lao Tzu truly mean by Tao? How is True Tao different from religious Taoism? Can Tao be understood as the same universal truth that saints, sages, Buddhas, prophets, and spiritual teachers have pointed to throughout history? What is the original intention behind spiritual teachings — worship, dependency, or awakening? Through open reflection and discussion, we will explore how True Tao may sit beyond religious and cultural boundaries, while still resonating with the deeper essence of Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Taoism, and other wisdom traditions. This is not a session about rejecting religion. Rather, it is an invitation to seek the truth behind religion, the wisdom behind scripture, and the living Tao within ourselves. Tao Seeker is a space for sincere spiritual exploration, open conversation, and personal cultivation. Whether you come from a religious background, a philosophical interest, or simply a curiosity about life, consciousness, and the source of existence, you are welcome to join us. Together, we seek beyond form, beyond culture, beyond belief — and return to the True Tao within. **There are no limits to the number of people able to join.** **Michael Teo invited you to a Microsoft Teams Meeting:** **Tao Seeker** Saturday, 3 October 2026 19:30 - 21:30 (AEST) Meeting link: [Tao Seeker | Microsoft Teams | Meet-up-Join](https://teams.live.com/meet/9365326335869?p=NRlsrpxNf8oVfZvKIH)

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

Tue, Oct 13, 6:30 AM

From ProductTank Melbourne

4.6

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.

Put AI to Work: Build Your AI Competitive Advantage

Thu, Oct 1, 7:00 AM

From AI Circle - JR Academy

4.3

Co-hosted by JR Academy, ANZ and Bupa. This event focuses on AI-native businesses, organisational practices and workflow design. It is designed for professionals and small and medium-sized business owners who want to explore the journey from personal productivity to enterprise AI work systems. 📅 **Thursday, 1 October 2026** 🕔 **5:00 PM–8:30 PM Melbourne local time** 📍 **Venue: To be announced** ## 🌏 MELBOURNE · AI & BUSINESS ### You Have an AI Assistant. The Next Step Is to Have an AI Work System. You may already be using AI to write emails, summarise information and generate content. However, customer follow-ups, task progress and delivery checks may still require you to monitor everything yourself. With more and more tools available, your work may still not be truly connected. This event starts with a more practical question: **How can AI take on specific responsibilities and turn professional expertise and business processes into a continuously operating work system?** 🍕 Pizza will be provided, with time for Q&A and networking. ## 🎤 LIGHTMAN · FEATURED PRESENTATION ### ⚙️ How to Build an Efficient AI Operating System **Speaker: Lightman · Founder of JR Academy** From one person to a team and then to an entire company, how can AI evolve from a collection of separate tools into a work system that actively participates in the business? Lightman will explain how management and coordination functions can be integrated into a system, and how customer enquiries, sales follow-ups and operational tasks can be connected into executable workflows. * **Redesigning management functions:** Delegate task assignment, information summarisation and progress tracking to the system. * **Building business workflows:** Connect business knowledge, AI and tools to create practical workflows. * **Defining the division of responsibilities between people and AI:** Determine which steps can be automated and which must be confirmed by people. ## 01 / 🏢 What Will a Business Look Like When AI Joins the Workforce? A task often involves assigning work, passing on information, tracking progress and preparing reports before it is completed. If AI can take on these coordination functions, how many layers of management will a business still need? How can leaders gain direct visibility into business progress? How much delivery capacity can a small team achieve? JR Academy is exploring how AI work systems can restructure these management functions and reduce reliance on middle management. ## 02 / 🔧 Give an Entire Business Process to AI for Collaborative Execution After a customer sends an enquiry, can AI organise the requirements, draft a response, update business records and create the next follow-up task? ### How an AI Workflow Operates **Request received → Understand and break down → Execute through tools → Human review → Update the system → Follow-up result** We will explain: * What business knowledge AI needs * How AI connects with business tools * Which actions must be approved by people * How to handle errors and exceptions ## 03 / 🚀 How Can AI Amplify Your Professional Expertise? For professionals, the focus is on turning experience into reusable processes, improving service quality and increasing delivery efficiency. For business owners, the focus is on reducing dependence on personal time for customer follow-ups, operational tasks and team collaboration. You are welcome to bring your real questions: * Which task repeatedly takes up your time? * Where does your team often get stuck? * What responsibility would you like AI to take on first? ### 👥 Featured Speakers **Lightman** Sharing JR Academy’s current practices in AI work systems and organisational design. **Guest speaker from ANZ** Name, role and presentation topic to be announced. **Former Deloitte professional** Name, current role and presentation topic to be announced. **Guest speaker from Bupa** Name, role and presentation topic to be announced. ## 💼 Who Is This Event Suitable For? * **Experienced professionals:** People who want to combine their expertise with AI and reduce repetitive administrative work. * **Small and medium-sized business owners:** People who want to improve sales follow-ups, operations and team collaboration. * **Entrepreneurs and team leaders:** People who are designing business processes and defining the responsibilities of people and AI. No programming background is required. The focus is on business scenarios, workflows and organisational design. ## 🧠 What Can You Start With After the Event? * Identify one task that should be prioritised for AI. * Define its input, execution, review and outcome. * Determine which responsibilities can be delegated to AI and which must remain with people. * Evaluate your first workflow based on time, quality and maintenance costs. 🍕 Pizza will be provided, with plenty of time to connect with speakers, professionals and business owners. ## 📸 Previous Events From presentations on stage to conversations after the event, experience the atmosphere of our previous events. The photos are from previous events. The food, gifts and recruitment information shown in the photos do not represent the arrangements for this event. Pizza will be provided at this event. ## ⚠️ Entry Registration Requirements The Bupa venue requires advance registration. All participants must complete both event registration and venue entry registration before attending. * **Date:** Thursday, 1 October 2026 * **Time:** 5:00 PM–8:30 PM Melbourne local time * **Venue:** Bupa Melbourne venue * **Food:** Pizza will be provided The exact address, entry instructions, ticket information, registration deadline and Bupa registration process will be announced later. 🎟️ **Free event · Limited to 100 attendees**
