Join American Australian Association, Austrade and Tech Council of Australia for a full-day summit bringing together founders, investors, and enterprise leaders at the forefront of AI — with a focus on the US–Australia technology corridor.
The program features candid conversations across five themed sessions: breaking into enterprise sales, building strategic partnerships, AI readiness from a global perspective, infrastructure and the future of AI at scale, and accessing capital as an AI company. The day also includes a VC reverse pitching session, giving startups direct exposure to investors, and is bookended by networking over breakfast and lunch.
Whether you’re an Australian company scaling into the US market or an American firm looking to deepen ties with the Australian ecosystem, this is a rare opportunity to connect with a curated group of peers and decision-makers.
