What is the
Sydney AI Bootcamp?
The Sydney AI Bootcamp is a full-day event designed for professionals, teams, and business owners ready to smooth their AI foundations and start putting AI into their workflow. This is not a theoretical seminar.
This is a hands-on, tool-driven day, led by Inbal Rodnay, that will show you how to weave generative AI into your work, so it's not a sporadic assistant, but a genuine shift in how you operate.
TRUSTED BY:
How it Works
Inbal shares what she's seeing on the ground: real use cases from real firms, and the tools to implement them. Then the whole room experiments together. Some of the best discoveries come from the person sitting next to you. It's insight, practice, and shared discovery.
“After the last Auckland session we did a group catch up, every person in the room had amazing stories to tell about a process they totally reshaped now with AI. The time savings are consistently hours a week. We are not shaving minutes here and there. AI delivers at a different scale.”
Who Should Attend
Professionals who use AI but suspect they're only scratching the surface
Sole operators who want to save hours and lift quality
Advisors ready to move beyond prompting and start building AI into their workflow
Teams who need a shared language (and a shared toolbox) before rolling AI out company-wide
Anyone who learns best when they can ask questions, try things and swap discoveries with others
