In person

Founders Unfiltered: Dawid Naude, Founder & CEO of Pathfindr Founders Unfiltered is Stone & Chalk's flagship fireside chat series. This is a long-form, live conversation for founders, by founders. Each month, one founder pulls back the curtain on the decisions, trade-offs, failures, and what they'd do differently, so the founders in the room can go further, faster. This month, we sit down with Dawid Naude, Founder & CEO of Pathfindr, Australia's leading, AFR award-winning AI accelerator on a mission to make AI exciting, accessible, and impossible to ignore. Across two decades, Dawid has held consulting, leadership, and founder roles in digital, technology, and innovation, including leading Cloud Sherpas' data & AI division through its acquisition by Accenture in 2015, where he progressed to Partner and led projects for Qantas, NAB, AMP, Foxtel, and Government. Through Pathfindr, named one of AFR BOSS' Most Innovative Companies in its founding year (2024), he now leads a fast-growing team of AI specialists working with clients including Woolworths Group, Victoria Government, Honey Insurance, and Australia Post. No polished narrative. No pitch. Just an honest, founder-to-founder conversation about how decisions were really made, what worked, what didn't, and what he'd change. Format: 1.00pm – 1.30pm: Arrival, lunch & networking 1.30pm – 2.15pm: Fireside chat 2.15pm – 2.30pm: Audience Q&A This series prioritises founder voices only, curated speakers with real, lived experience from the Stone & Chalk community and alumni network.

AWS Kubernetes Security Using Actionable Insights

Shine Solutions Group Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia · Melbourne AWS Programming and Tools Meetup
In person

What can Kubernetes security data tell you about what’s really going on in your environment? And how can you turn that data into something useful beyond just spotting threats? In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore how to collect and analyse Kubernetes security data, spot patterns you might otherwise miss, and uncover risks hiding in plain sight. We’ll also look at how to take that data beyond security, using it to understand risk, prioritise work, and make better business decisions. Through practical examples, we’ll bring together Kubernetes security, observability, and analytics to see what happens when you connect the dots between technical data and the bigger picture. Expect practical examples, real-world use cases, and ideas you can take back to your own Kubernetes environment. Less theory, more digging into the data! Food and drinks will be provided. Important: Make sure to bring your laptop, you will also need to have an AWS account you can log into.
