ARIAM Hosts 2024 Annual Conference & Research Showcase

POSTED: 26 Nov, 2024

To round up the year, we hosted our first Annual Conference and Research Showcase at the University of Sydney’s Business School, on November 25^th. The day was a great success and provided our research team with the opportunity to present their research projects, via lightning talks and poster presentations and discuss their opportunities as well as challenges. We hope that this event will help foster broader collaboration across the Hub.

The conference was opened by Prof. Julie Cairney, Interim DVCR at the University of Sydney and ARIAM Board Member.  A special thanks to Dr. Michael Bewley, VP of AI & Computer Vision – Nearmap, for an inspiring presentation on the evolution of AI at Nearmap. Our Director, Prof. Ian Manchester, shared key achievements and highlights for 2024, Prof. Niko Sünderhauf introduced us to exciting innovations in robotics research, and Prof. Stefan Williams facilitated a strategy session to co-design the next set of projects in our collaborative demonstrator program.

The event was a wonderful way to end an exciting year of research collaboration and to celebrate our collective achievements. We look forward to more opportunities to come together as a team, including our partners and key stakeholders, in 2025.
