Beyond The Beers – Conversations & Cool Stuff For Men
Taking a beer with mates to the next level; actually talking about the stuff we avoid…
Is something missing?
Maybe you’ve been cruising. Something doesn’t feel quite right. You know there should be more. But what is it and how do you get it?
Life is so BUSY now. Getting any time for a catch up with mates is almost impossible.
And when you do it’s not like there’s much to talk about except work, sport, and the same news you all read anyway. So you finish your beer, get another round, ignore the gaping hole and just keep things on the surface level.
We get it, we’ve been there; it’s easier to numb & distract than confront the REAL conversations.
‘Beyond The Beers – Conversations & Cool Stuff For Men’
Supporting men in being more REAL. Grab a mate, hit the Commercial Hotel with us for a cold beer and a conversation that goes beyond the beers.
This is an Event for…
Men who want to talk about the stuff that’s missing. Men who want to face their own BS. Men who want to take having a beer with mates to a new level;
having the conversations others aren’t willing to have.
For men who want to find out what’s missing;
More sex and fewer arguments. More happiness. Stronger communication. Spending time doing what you enjoy. Not feeling the Guilt.
We flip the script on how men usually communicate, opening the space for real, honest, and natural conversation to occur, something the attendees dive into and take home with them.
It’s not all about that. It’s giving guys a chance to talk about the stuff that’s missing and how to overcome challenges like:
- Addiction
- Alcohol dependency
- Avoidance and conflict in relationships
- Mental health and how to deal with it
- Living up to the pressures and expectations of others
All with a serious dose of reality and supported by men who know the challenges firsthand and found a path forward.

BRAVE Flinders Research & Innovation Series | Laying Waste to Pollution
Do you recall the “BP Deepwater Horizon”? It was a devastating oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico and was the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry. Thousands of birds, mammals, fish, and sea turtles were soaked with leaked oil, many studies leading to grim outcomes for many of the species. What would we do if we saw an oil spill on one of our pristine coastlines?
A solution to this wicked problem has been recently invented by Dr Justin Chalker. Justin has developed a sponge-like material that soaks up crude oil and diesel spills using an absorbent rubber made from waste cooking oil and sulphur, itself a byproduct of the petroleum industry.
Furthermore, it can capture the largest sources of mercury emissions produced here in Australia, and across the globe.
Come and listen to Justin discuss his interest in taking waste and making it into new and useful polymers, where he will present the three applications using this polymer to benefit the environment and human well-being (including unpublished work):
- oil spill remediation
- mercury remediation and
- sustainable subsistence gold mining.

The future of data science by Dr. Katherine Enderling
One challenging aspect of machine learning – even for experienced practitioners – is choosing the correct tools for a specific task. Anyone using machine learning must make decisions about everything from how to clean data, what features to extract or build or what learning algorithm to use. Recently, some groups have been looking to automate some parts of this process, or even the whole pipeline. This field is generally known as AutoML, and in this talk, Katherine will give a short introduction to an AutoML project out of MIT.
Athlete’s AI: Real-time video analytics in the hands of all athletes by Dr. Mark McDonnell
Video analytics is a powerful tool for athletes and their coaches. It can help improve performance by providing biomechanical analysis, match statistics and tagging of key events. However, current solutions require painstaking manual labelling and editing, and so are high cost, slow and provide limited insights. Athlete’s AI combines computer vision, machine learning and cloud computing to deliver three distinct advantages over our competitors: lower cost, faster real-time analytics, and further insights.
In this talk Dr. Mark McDonnell will provide an overview of Athlete’s AI’s tennis product, and demonstrate its capabilities in action. He will also describe some of the technical challenges that the team has solved by designing cutting-edge deep neural networks.
Big data and bioinformatics by Dr. Emily Hackett-Jones
Single cell sequencing is a hot topic in biology at the moment. It allows the genes in thousands of individual cells to be analyzed separately. This can be very helpful if you want to distinguish cancerous cells from normal tissue, for example. Alongside this new technology comes massive amounts of data, leading to great technical and scientific challenges and opportunities for applying new machine learning techniques. Emily will give a brief intro to this topic – no prior biology knowledge necessary!
