San Francisco AI Mission

Over recent weeks, AITAI brought together Western Australian AI leaders at St Catherine’s College, Perth for the second San Francisco AI Mission roundtable, focused on preparing the WA delegation for international engagement.

The session centred on how WA’s ecosystem can be represented at the AI Engineer World’s Fair in San Francisco this June, where more than 6,000 engineers, founders, and technical leaders will gather for one of the world’s largest technical AI conferences.

Discussions focused on strengthening international connections, aligning on how to showcase Western Australia’s capabilities globally, and building long-term partnerships. Participants explored how to capture market insights and return with opportunities that will support WA’s future AI growth.

The shared focus was clear: represent WA with confidence, collaborate strategically, and ensure the delegation delivers lasting value for the local ecosystem.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who joined the first and second roundtables, or expressed interest in being involved:

Hon Dr Parwinder Kaur, Brodie McCulloch, Jonathan Almeida, Renu Kannu, Oliver Bazzani, Nate Sturcke, Joshua Boys, Mo Jaimangal, Justin Strharsky, Pia Turcinov, Wilson Casado, Susannah Soon, Zachary Aman, Elizabeth Knight, Finty Clowry Steele, Ben Sandhu, Lisa Longman, Graeme Speak, Issy Ng, Rob Moore, Aidan Morgan, Jasmin Ward, Wei Liu, Alex Jenkins, Tim Sondalini.
