Sydney AI Builders Meetup on 3 December in Chippendale
A free evening in Chippendale on Thursday 3 December for founders and tech leads using AI in their product. A talk on DeepSeek and open models, then pizza.
We’re hosting the first Sydney AI Builders Meetup on Thursday 3 December. It’s a small evening for founders, CTOs and tech leads who already run AI in their product, or are close to launching it.
What is the talk about?
Paul Towers will talk about how startups are using DeepSeek and other open models. He’ll cover where teams use them, what they cost once a product is live, and what changes when you move a workload across from the model you use today. There’s time for questions afterwards.
You don’t need to use open models already. The talk starts from the model you use now.
When and where is it?
- Thursday 3 December 2026
- 5.30pm doors open, 6pm talk and questions, 7pm pizza and drinks until about 8.30pm
- Encour, 3 Little Queen St, Chippendale, a short walk from Central and Redfern stations
There’s wood-fired pizza from Calico in Redfern, with beer and wine.
How do I get a place?
It’s free. The room holds about 30 people, so each request is reviewed and places are confirmed by email. Sign up on Luma and we’ll be in touch.
Bringing a colleague? Ask them to sign up too, so there’s a spot and a slice for them.
Can I see HiToby there?
Yes. The team will be in the room, so come and say hello if you’d like to see how HiToby works in Slack or Teams. You can also look at the plans or book a demo before the night.
