About the Event…

The UQ AI Conference Dry Run Seminar Series is an initiative launched by the UQ EECS Data Science Discipline to support our HDR student community. This inaugural event marks the beginning of a recurring seminar series designed to help our students shine on the global stage.

The goals of the series are to:

• Practice presentations: Give HDR students the chance to rehearse their talks for top international conferences
• Receive constructive feedback: Present in a supportive environment and gain insights from peers and faculty that can sharpen delivery and content.
• Showcase UQ research: Share cutting-edge work with a broader audience, raising the visibility of the exciting contributions coming from UQ.
• Build community: Strengthen connections across research groups and foster collaboration through shared discussion and networking.

Format: 10-minute presentation + 5-minute Q&A session

This series will serve as a training ground for students preparing to present at major venues, while also offering the UQ community a front-row seat to the innovative AI research being developed within our faculty.
