We are MLAI Aus

Our vision is to make Australia an amazing home for AI and machine learning entrepreneurs. Let's get on it. Love letters: hi@mlai.au

Meetups

Community is everything, and most online events are simply not that great. We're organising monthly in-person events with talks about tech, research and startups. And then we have some drinks and make friends, wan't to join us? We will never monetise our community.

Hackathons

Getting together with other smart people and building a prototype is an awesome adventure and a great way to meet co-founders for your next unicorn. That's why we're hosting several larger hackathons per year. Check out aihackmelb23 - 99 hackers and over 300 pitch night attendees.

Codecamp

We're all still learning, AI just moves too fast! If you're keen to get hands-on with coding and build you own AI systems, say no more and head straight to our codecamp. Run in collaboration with the Melbourne Hackerspace we're delivering ongoing build sessions.

Event Highlights

Can't wait to see you for the next one!

“It was an absolute pleasure to work with the MLAI team on the Ecosystem Drinks: Talent meets Startups. It was amazing to see so many engaging members of the MLAI community join in for the startup speed dating. ”
