The XENON eResearch Social at The Charming Squire in Brisbane was the perfect way to close the first day at eResearch Australasia 2025.

It was fantastic to see so many familiar faces — and to meet new colleagues from across Australia and New Zealand’s research and technology communities. Over good food, local brews and lively conversation, we celebrated the innovation and collaboration that make this community so special.

A heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us, and to our co-sponsors NVIDIA, VAST Data and Versity Software for helping make the evening possible. Your partnership continues to power the ideas, conversations and connections that drive progress in high performance computing, AI and research data infrastructure.

From all of us at XENON — thank you for making this event one to remember.

We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to connect, share ideas and build the future of research computing together.
