Artificial Intelligence Summit, hosted by Noosa Shire Council.

Equip yourself to leverage AI for efficiency and cost reduction in your councils.
We respectfully acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters of the Noosa area, the Kabi Kabi people, and pays respect to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
This summit will foster a space where you can form meaningful connections with local government leaders, AI experts, and innovators who share a passion for unlocking AI's potential to enhance service delivery.
Panels discuss how they are responding to the GenAI wave, the opportunities they are embracing, some of their greatest fears if they choose to take a passive approach, and which areas of local government function will be impacted most by AI in the short to medium term and what is needed to prepare and support their people.
Presentations by industry specialists will offer insights into AI adoption, innovation, technology management, and much more.
