🚀 Last Wednesday night, our hotly-anticipated Top Tech Trends Debate featured as part of Day 3 for Tech Week 2024 from Cremorne Digital Hub at the magnificent SEEK office HQ in Cremorne, VIC. A brilliant lineup of panellists pitching their ideas for 'the next big thing' in emerging tech. Debate from all panellists was spirited and some fantastic emerging trends were identified and explored. Su Dharmapala was our scintillating MC for the night, who kept panellists to time and added her own personal flair. Our Panellists went head to head with their 'emerging tech trends'. 💡 Laura Bellino spoke to solutions for simplifying our personal decisions, easing that familiar decision fatigue that increasingly weighs on our digital lives. 💡 Hon Weng Chong shifted gears to human neural networks, and how we can accelerate computational intelligence using biological components. After all, our brains do OK on just 20W! 💡 Dylan Brady advocated for ways to facilitate virtual future communities, which can accelerate connection and collaboration. 💡 Olga Hogan made a compelling case for bringing machine learning to dementia treatment and prevention. 💡 Arnan Mitchell shone a light upon the use of existing optical fibre networks for on-the-fly emergency response for floods, earthquake's and more through detecting micro echos from across networks. 🏆 There can be only one winner however, and by popular vote honours went to Olga Hogan for the life-changing improvements for #dementia patients! The event was made possible with support from Digital Innovation Futures Victoria, Victoria State Government (Victorian Government), and of course  Cremorne Digital Hub. #digitaltech #medtech #designtech #AI #virtualcommunity #futuretech #futurism #biztech #toptechtrends #techtrends #emergingtech #panelevent #paneldiscussion #networking #networkingevent #techweek

What a great collection of events for Tech Week 2024 hosted by Cremorne Digital Hub! I attended sessions on topics ranging from solving problems in energy with AI to the current and future jobs & skills landscape in Vic/Aus to championing our upcoming female founders making an impact both locally and globally. It was fantastic to meet a diverse group of presenters and attendees, with plenty of opportunities for discussion. The educational walking tour of Cremorne and onsite barista churning out coffees were an extra bonus! Thanks to all involved in making these events happen.

Tech Week saw Cremorne abuzz with events across the precinct. Cremorne Digital Hub was the epicenter with partners SEEK, REA Group and carsales also hosting events. Highlights were Latrobe University escape room and Desmond John’ Walking Tours. Kudos to the CDH Team Peter Osborne, Julie Stevens, Margaret Ledwith, Rochelle Kerr, Alan Tsen and Board. Shout out to industry wrangler Nadine ‘Noodles’ Groves MAICD, #DEI champion Karen Cohen and the legendary Kerryn Nelson from Big Mouth Marketing Communications. #TechWeek2024 also featured the final events under the Digital Innovation Futures Victoria initiative. Wonderful to see that long time DIF partners are now embedded in the Cremorne ecosystem. AIIA, ACS (Australian Computer Society), Churchill Club Australia Incorporated, Pearcey Foundation, The Startup Network network and Women in Emerging Tech Australia all playing their part. After many years and lots of work behind the scenes the cycle is complete. A nod to those in government, education, industry and the local community for the vision and grit to lay the foundations. Victoria’s tech future is bright. #cremorne #victoria #innovation #digitalcareers #techjobs

An exhilarating day at Cremorne Digital Hub where AIIA’s Victorian Council and the Victorian Government Department of Jobs Skills Industry and Regions hosted the AI Skills and Jobs Symposium as part of a packed Tech Week calendar of events.   AIIA Director Nadine ‘Noodles’ Groves MAICD’ lit a challenging fuse asking “How Victoria can lead the world in AI” with representatives from over 70 companies across industry, academia and the Victorian Government. Professor Rocky Scopelliti shared his futurist insights and opportunity to lift tech outputs, Siew Lee Seow detailed Singapore’s success as a shining light.

Huge day at Cremorne Digital Hub with the AIIA and Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions hosting the AIIA AI Jobs and Skills Symposium. Excellent MC Nadine ‘Noodles’ Groves MAICD took us on a journey of discovery to see where Australia ranks on the global innovation index (tip, it's not great) thanks to Professor Rocky Scopelliti insights, why Singapore bats above it's weight thanks to Siew Lee Seow (clue they don't have things of value to dig out of the ground) and what the future holds for Victorian Public Servants with AI in Cyber (Dovid Clarke making excellent points in particular with regards to the skills challenge). We spent 2 hours of no hold barred f things up by getting every one of the 70+ companies attending to think through what blue sky thoughts could change and make Victoria the global leader in AI. Congratulations and huge thanks to the breakout teams and in particular @Anthony O'Connell and Scott McMillan for their efforts putting this together. It really does take a village to raise a child and the village of Victoria seems to be doing an excellent job.

Terrific event this evening! I attended the Top Tech Trends Debate 2024, hosted by Churchill Club Australia Incorporated! It was a golden opportunity for me to meet new people, exchange ideas, and build meaningful connections. Meeting Arnan Mitchell was a true delight, and I found his enlightening speech to be quite enjoyable.  The other panellists, Dylan Brady, Olga Hogan, Laura Bellino, and Hon Weng Chong, also highlighted how cutting-edge tech trends are not just ideas; actually, they are tools that can revolutionize our daily lives. It is always a pleasure to meet Charles Rendigs and Jennifer George MBA, GAICD! Looking forward to continuing our conversations and exploring new ideas together. Thanks Cremorne Digital Hub for putting together such an exciting event and creating a perfect platform for knowledge-sharing and networking over delicious drinks and snacks. #TechWeek #Innovation #TopTechTrendsDebate #Networking #FutureTech #CremorneDigitalHub #Inspiration

Our very own Stef Cola was a panelist at the Regional Tech Founders: Growing & Scaling Throughout Australia & Globally event at Tech Week. Stef, along with Ligantic co-founder Mark, explored the Cremorne Digital Hub as part of their #TechWeek adventures. The panel discussion, hosted by Craig Hunter on behalf of Startup Central Victoria, busted some common myths about launching and growing a business in regional Australia. Stef was joined by fellow regional founders Dean Freestone and Prof. James L. Maxwell (LTU Bendigo). The key takeaways? The regions are an amazing place to build a business - the problem-solving skills and tight-knit communities make for incredible early-stage teams. Plus, the regional ecosystems are rapidly evolving to support the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs. There were plenty of shoutouts to the ecosystem support from La Trobe University, Startup Central Victoria, Be.Bendigo and Bendigo Tourism - Stef was practically an honorary member of the Bendigo tourism board by the end! 😉 #LiganticEverywhere #RegionalStartups #TechWeek #Bendigo
