This is your chance to network with creatives, technologists, filmmakers, builders, and curious minds from Australia’s growing AI ecosystem — all in the DISRUPT headquarters, TBWA\Melbourne.

This meetup sits alongside the DISRUPT AI Film Festival (DAIFF). DISRUPT AI Film Festival (DAIFF) is Australia’s first Gen AI film festival — a national platform for filmmakers, artists, technologists, and students to explore storytelling powered by AI. Anchored by the theme “Humans and Their Tools”, the festival champions human-in-the-loop creativity — where technology becomes a co-creator, not a competitor.
