Hosted by Moira Shire Council in partnership with RMIT University and JBS Australia, this event will showcase how artificial intelligence is transforming the manufacturing sector, boosting productivity, enhancing safety, and driving innovation.
Attendees will hear from leading AI experts Professor Xiaodong Li and Associate Professor Ben Cheng from RMIT University, who will demystify AI and share real-world applications already making an impact in industry.

Moira Shire Council chair administrator, Graeme Emonson said the event would equip local businesses with the knowledge and tools to navigate the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
