Dazed & Diffused Brisbane

Last night we hosted our first Dazed & Diffused event in Brisbane – our 13th gathering overall. The energy at Riverside was electric, with generative AI builders, investors, founders, and enthusiasts coming together to celebrate innovation and make new connections.

Since we started this event series (with Yash Varma from Empress Capital) I've had the privilege of witnessing our gen AI community grow, but the turnout and enthusiasm in Brisbane exceeded all expectations.

The evening's highlights included three groundbreaking demonstrations that showcased the diversity and ingenuity of Queensland’s generative AI ecosystem: Denver Naidoo presented Zeligate's revolutionary approach to AI-powered hiring, Jamie van Leeuwen wowed us with Absolutely AI's video innovations, and Michelle Reeves unveiled Zipline AI's transformative retail solutions.

A big thanks to the generous support of our sponsors: AWS, Sprint Ventures, Empress Capital and us here at Time Under Tension.

The conversations and connections made last night reinforced what we've always believed – Australia's gen AI ecosystem is not just growing, it's thriving. As we look ahead to future events, it's clear that Dazed & Diffused has found a new home in Brisbane's vibrant gen AI community.
