AI Salon Sydney: price, who can join and alternatives
AI Salon Sydney is the local chapter of the global AI Salon network, bringing AI founders, investors and curious people together for intimate evening events. Recent salons were held at AWS on Market Street in the CBD. It is a good fit for founders building with AI who want conversation rather than a technical hackathon.
