The countdown is on. In exactly one week—Wednesday, 18 February—we’ll be at Collins Square for the Melbourne Enterprise AI and Automation Summit.

If you’ve been following the conversation around enterprise AI lately, you know the tone has shifted. The initial rush of “what can we do with this?” is settling into a much harder, more practical question: “how do we actually run this at scale without blowing out the budget?”

That is the exact problem we are heading to Melbourne to solve.

Moving Beyond the Experiment

For the last year, we’ve seen plenty of organisations spin up impressive pilots. But moving those pilots into production reveals a different beast entirely. You can’t run a business-critical AI engine on the same infrastructure you used to test the waters.

That’s why we are partnering with NVIDIA for this event. We want to move the discussion away from just the software and models to look at the engine room that powers them.

The Keynote: Infrastructure as a Business Engine

At 9:40am, our GM & Sales Director Joao Almeida will take the stage alongside NVIDIA’s Michael Lang (Solutions Architecture Manager, APAC South).

Their session, “AI Factories – When Infrastructure Becomes a Business Engine,” isn’t just a technical deep dive. It’s a look at the economics of modern compute. They’ll be unpacking:

• Why traditional IT stacks struggle to support AI workloads at scale.
• The concept of the “AI Factory”—treating compute as a manufacturing process where efficiency is king.
• How predictable scaling and fabric utilisation can drive down your unit costs.

If you are a CIO or an infrastructure architect, this is where the theory gets real.

Let’s Get Specific

We know that every infrastructure challenge is unique. That’s why we’re also hosting a Roundtable Discussion at 12:40pm.

This is your chance to step away from the slide decks and have a candid conversation with peers and experts. We’ll be digging into the friction points of deploying NVIDIA platforms in Australian enterprise environments—what works, what blocks progress and how to smooth the path to production.

See You in Melbourne

Joao and the team will be on the ground all day. Whether you’re looking to overhaul your entire stack or just have a specific question about GPU efficiency, come find us at the XENON stand during the breaks.

It’s going to be a big day for the local AI community. We’re looking forward to being part of it.
