Collaborate. Connect. Create.
AI & Society runs a range of event formats and community experiences, each designed to move beyond passive learning and into genuine engagement. Here’s how we bring people together.
Seminars & Keynotes
Monthly flagship events anchored by expert speakers — from AI researchers and ethicists to founders, policymakers, and civic leaders. Sophia opens each session to set context and get the audience thinking, before handing to keynote guests and facilitating audience dialogue.
Past topics have included: the future of work, AI in cities, philosophy and machine intelligence, governance and regulation, creativity and generative AI.
Workshops
Hands-on, co-designed sessions where participants work in groups to explore a theme, challenge an assumption, or prototype an idea. Workshops are built around timely questions — from bias and embodiment to AGI alignment and the ethics of automation.
No technical background required. Just show up ready to think.
Roundtables
Smaller, more intimate conversations for deeper dialogue. Roundtables bring together a curated group of participants around a specific question — sometimes with industry leaders, sometimes deliberately cross-sector.
AI Lab Sessions
Practical, hands-on sessions where participants get into the tools — experimenting with AI applications, prompting, workflows, and emerging platforms. Designed for people who learn by doing.
Run Club & Social
Because good ideas don’t only happen in conference rooms. Our run and coffee club sessions are a chance to connect with the community in a more relaxed setting — same curious energy, different pace.
Podcast
Coming soon — a podcast exploring the ideas, people, and conversations at the edge of AI and society. Watch this space.
Sponsorship & Partnerships
AI & Society offers meaningful ways for organisations to connect with a highly engaged, cross-disciplinary community of 3,000 members across Australia.

- Event sponsorship — monthly meetups or curated themed series
- In-kind support — venues, catering, AV, technology
- Thought leadership partnerships — guest speakers, co-hosted events
