The Discuss Our Future Meetup
Every month, a group of people gather online to talk honestly about what AI is doing to society — and what we can do about it. No product pitch. No agenda. Just people figuring this out together.

The world of work is changing faster than most people realise — and we’re not waiting for a formal agenda to talk about it.
Every week a few of us meet at the Nest for coffee, no structure required. You might get into what AI is actually doing to local jobs right now, or what food resilience looks like for a town like Tumba, or just share something you read that made you think. Some conversations go deep. Some stay light. All of them matter.
This is where Future Together in Tumbarumba started — around a table here, asking questions nobody had neat answers to. That spirit hasn’t changed.
Come as you are. Bring a question, a worry, or just curiosity. No prior knowledge needed, no commitment beyond showing up.
Every Tuesday morning at the Nest.
Everyone welcome.
What happens at a meetup?
A brief update on what's changed
We start with what’s happened in AI since the last meetup — the things that matter, explained clearly. No jargon, no assumption you’re a technical person.
A focused topic or question
Each session has a theme. Past topics have included: how AI is changing knowledge work, what community resilience looks like, and how to think about AI without the hype or the doom.
Open discussion
This is the part people keep coming back for. Questions, challenges, personal experiences from different industries and countries. A real conversation, not a presentation.

The monthly meetup is global — but sometimes you want a smaller room. Local groups meet in person, in your city or region, to continue the conversation face to face.
