Sydney AI Engineering and Infrastructure Summit 2026
Shape the future of AI and join industry leaders for hands-on sessions and insights on scalable AI systems and high-performance infrastructure.

Join us for the second edition of the AI Engineering and Infrastructure Summit!
We're bringing together AI engineers, data scientists, and technology leaders to explore scalable AI systems and high-performance infrastructure.
Discover best practices for deploying AI models at scale, optimising data pipelines for machine learning workloads, and implementing continuous integration and deployment. Dive into Edge AI, discuss ethics in AI engineering, and debate whether cloud or on-prem solutions are best for AI development. Engage in interactive sessions, real-world case studies, panel discussions, and debates to stay ahead of emerging trends in AI engineering.
Key Themes:
- Building Scalable AI Systems
- Leveraging AI modernisation to transform applications and systems
- High-Performance AI Infrastructure
- Deploying AI Models at Scale
- Optimising Data Pipelines for ML Workloads
- Implementing Continuous Integration and Deployment
- Edge AI
- Ethics in AI Engineering
- Cloud vs. On-Prem: What Is Best for AI Development

Our Speakers
Agenda
Beat the rush and join us early for complimentary barista-made coffee and breakfast.
Insights into incorporating ethical considerations into AI engineering practices, including bias mitigation, transparency, and accountability.
Practical insights into integrating CI/CD practices tailored for machine learning models to maintain performance and accuracy in production environments.
Discussing the latest advancements in hardware and cloud infrastructure that enable high-performance AI computations.
A case study on designing efficient data pipelines to handle large-scale data ingestion, processing, and storage for AI applications.
In this innovative session, attendees will be faced with a series of scenarios that they may face in their roles. Attendees will discuss the possible courses of action with their peers to consider the ramifications of each option before logging their own course of action.
Results will be tallied and analysed by our session facilitator and results will impact the way the group moves through the activity.
Will we collectively choose the right course of action?
As we deployed AI agents to automate accounting workflows in a highly regulated environment, we quickly learned that model-level safeguards weren’t enough. This session explores how we built a layered safety chain, spanning the user’s role, the agent, and the underlying services and data, to manage blast radius, permissions and autonomy in production. We’ll share how targeted beta rollouts and deliberate UI design helped define clear boundaries between essential human oversight and safe, scalable automation.
Exploring the opportunities and challenges of deploying AI models on edge devices for low-latency and offline capabilities.
Select a topic of discussion and engage in an interactive roundtable discussion with a group of your like-minded peers.
Put your knowledge to the test in this fast-paced quiz covering real-world trivia, key concepts, and emerging trends. Compete for bragging rights - and a travel voucher - as the top scorer takes the crown.
An exploration of the complexities involved in engineering scalable AI systems, including data pipelines, model deployment, and real-time processing.
A lively session on whether cloud-based or on-premises infrastructure offers the optimal environment for AI development and deployment.
This interactive session puts these questions directly to the audience. Participants vote live on a series of real-world scenarios, explore the results together, and vote again as perspectives shift through the discussion.
Unwind with your peers for a couple of drinks on us!
