ANZ in AI Forum

We won’t shut up about this. 15 amazing speakers across a day of panels and talks, sharing deep insights and spicy takes about AI, startups, and the Bay Area. And also what’s up with ANZ’s sovereign AI, talent pipeline, and data centres in the outback?

We’re proud to have brought together so many old and new friends in Stanford and the Bay. Thanks to our sponsors: Stanford GSC, Stanford Speakers Bureau, and Blackbird VC.

Thanksgiving

Far from home during this hallowed American holiday, we gathered for festive pies and sausage rolls. Shout-out to Sage Bakehouse, a “Down Under Inspired Bakery and Cafe”, for the delicious food! And to Trader Joe’s, a great Californian innovation, for dessert.

This also marked the end of our treasurer Stefan’s time at Stanford. Thanks for all your work with the club, you will be missed!

Welcome BBQ

We kicked off the year with some charcoal grilling, bringing together 50+ friends for Bunnings-ish snags, great company, and the latest from Triple J. It was wonderful to see many familiar and new faces. Thanks Ollie for bringing lamingtons!

Social lunch

Grabbed some lunch together at Blend!

Tea and Tim Tams

We were excited to host our friends from Blackbird! Blackbird is an ANZ VC firm that invests across all areas from software to space, and was an early backer of Canva. We had a great time chatting about the ANZ entrepreneurship ecosystem and exploring how we can collaborate to support the community here at Stanford.
