SydDT #131: Lead Change That Matters with Ben Pecotich

Thu, Oct 15, 7:00 AM

Join us for the launch of my Ben Pecotich's new book Lead Change That Matters: Design the Conditions for Momentum! Your ticket includes all the usual SydDT goodness… plus a set of limited-edition Lead Change That Matters cards that we’ll use on the night to catalyse conversation and help you choose your own journey. You’ll also get a special launch discount on Ben's new book. 300+ people shared their experiences, goals, frustrations, and hopes through the research behind the book – including so many of you from the SydDT community. Lead Change That Matters is a call to action. It says the work matters, the people involved matter, and what we choose to do next matters. This session is for you if you’re: * Leading change you’re accountable for but can’t really control * Navigating complexity with increasing ambiguity and uncertainty * Caring for everyone’s wellbeing but dodging your own burnout * Firefighting the tactical when you want to lead the strategic change that matters At the heart of the book is a tension that ran through the research. Leaders are expected to juggle more as the work becomes faster, more complex, and more scrutinised… but the conditions around them haven’t kept pace with what’s being demanded. We want people to collaborate, adapt, take the initiative, and deliver meaningful results. What are we doing to make that possible? The premise is that leading change well is about designing the conditions for people to do meaningful work together – bringing purpose and performance together to build momentum and deliver results that matter. We’ll explore these themes together… with a focus on how we design the conditions for momentum, so we can lead change that matters. Come join us for some fun conversations with interesting people in and around the design thinking community. New members are welcome! **SPEAKER** **[Ben Pecotich](https://www.linkedin.com/in/benpecotich/)** **Design & Innovation Director/Founder, [Dynamic4](https://dynamic4.com).

IN PERSON! Apache Kafka® x Apache Flink®Meetup - Oct 2026

Tue, Oct 13, 6:30 AM

From Apache Kafka Sydney

From Instructional Design & eLearning Meetup

Hello everyone! Join us for an Apache Kafka® meetup on **Oct 13th from 5:30pm**, hosted by Mantel in Sydney! The address, agenda, and speaker information can be found below. See you there! **Venue**: Mantel Level 21, 580 George St, Sydney NSW 2000 \*\*\* **Agenda:** * 5:30pm: Doors open * 5:30pm - 6:00pm: Pizza, Drinks, and Networking * 6:00pm - 6:30pm: Jaehyeon Kim, Senior Data Engineer, Kasada * 6:30pm - 7:00pm: Chris Arthur, Customer Success Engineering Manager, Confluent * 7:00pm - 7:30pm: Additional Networking \*\*\* **Speaker:** Jaehyeon Kim, Senior Data Engineer, Kasada **Talk:** From Prototype to Production: Building a Real-Time ML Feedback Loop with Kafka and Flink **Abstract:** While many platforms power real-time decisions, most machine learning workflows remain stubbornly batch-oriented. This session presents a practical case study on redesigning an offline Python-based recommendation prototype into a highly scalable, real-time contextual bandit system built entirely on Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. We will explore how Kafka serves as the backbone of the feedback loop by managing real-time event ingestion and user feedback streams. From there, we will dive into how Apache Flink performs continuous, stateful online model training directly within the stream. Join this session to learn how to safely manage ML model state inside a distributed stream processor, decouple continuous Flink training from low-latency serving, and successfully integrate online learning workloads into your event-driven architectures. \-\-\-\-\- **Speaker:** Chris Arthur, Customer Success Engineering Manager, Confluent **Talk:** Atomic Writes Across Kafka and Your Database: What KIP-939 Changes **Abstract:** If you've ever built a system that writes to both Kafka and a database, you've hit the dual-write problem: how do you guarantee both writes succeed or fail together? Today's answer is usually the outbox pattern — a reliable but heavyweight workaround involving extra tables, pollers, and CDC pipelines. In this talk, we'll cover what 2PC participation actually means for Kafka's transaction protocol, how it differs from Kafka's existing exactly-once semantics, and what this unlocks for teams building event-driven systems that need real atomicity between Kafka and external stores. \*\*\* If you would like to speak or host our next event please let us know! community@[confluent.io](http://confluent.io/)

Friendcraft 2.0 - Friendship Not Left To Chance

Sat, Oct 10, 5:00 AM

4.5

What makes someone go from someone I met to someone I consider a friend and then, perhaps, to a close friend or even a best friend? When we look back at school playgrounds, friendship can seem like something that just happens. We played together, discovered shared interests, spent enough time together, and somehow became friends. But as we grow up, it can start to feel a little more complicated. Responsibilities increase. Careers take priority. Relationships change. People move cities. Social circles shift. We can become so busy maintaining the life we've built that making and maintaining friendships gets pushed further and further down the list. None of this is necessarily a bad thing. But sometimes we only realise how important friendship is when we suddenly need more connection, company or support - and discover we haven't done our homework. So what is such homework? That's the intention behind "Friendcraft - Friendship Not Left To Chance", a social skills workshop exploring what it takes to turn connections into friendships, and keep those friendships alive when life gets overwhelming. Through playful challenges, social experiments and scenarios, you'll explore your own friendship needs, discover what helps friendships grow, and experiment with ways to create more opportunities for meaningful connection. **WHO IS IT FOR?** * Professionals who want to build genuine friendships within their professional networks * Young adults navigating what friendship means in 2026 * Travellers who are constantly entering and leaving new social circles * Leaders who want to strengthen their collaborators and stakeholder relationships * Anyone who is surrounded by lots of people around them, but not enough people who truly feel close to **WHAT OUTCOMES CAN YOU EXPECT FROM ATTENDING?** \- make new friends with like\-minded people who are after similar outcomes \- discover how your personality and quirks can become social assets \- deepen your existing friendships \- create reminder structures for staying connected in the long run \- become proficient at navigating difficult conversations between friends \- find ways to maximize joy when hanging out with others You don't need to be shy. You don't need to be particularly social. You just need to want friendship to be a higher priority. Friendship used to happen by chance. Perhaps it never did. \*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\* 🎟️ To attend, please register and purchase tickets at: [https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1650808](https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1650808) Ticket includes drinks, snacks and a vegetarian meal. \*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\*^\* **ABOUT** ***Utopia Rising*** delivers unconventional social experiences for self-improvement seekers looking to broaden their network or simply be inspired by life again.
