KM Conversation Dinner
Where: The Palace Hotel (Cnr George & Hay Streets, Haymarket, Sydney)
When: Thursday 6th September 2018; 5.30pm till 7.30pm
“Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits. When two minds meet, they don’t just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, and engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn’t just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards.”
Theodore Zeldin (b. 1933) Historian & Author
You are invited to sit down at a table across from (potentially!) complete strangers, and are each handed a dinner menu. It lists courses from Entrees, Main Meals, to Desserts – but instead of culinary dishes the menu proposes topics of conversation related to the world of Knowledge Management.
The conversation menu presents an array of stimulating, thought-provoking topics covering a wide range of Knowledge Management topics.
You and your dinner partners, your ‘muses,’ are ready to discuss and explore each of these questions throughout the meal at your own pace – it depends on mutual open-mindedness and willingness to share. By the end of the meal, you may have gotten to know a stranger very well, and developed new ideas and perceptions around different elements of Knowledge Management. Perhaps even co-created something innovative!
Whether you believe you have something to share or something to learn – open conversations are always mutually beneficial where everyone walks away with some new knowledge.
This is the gist of a Conversation Dinner, a concept conceived by a man named Theodore Zeldin from The Oxford Muse Foundation.
********************************
This event is free, however please RSVP so we know how many people to book tables for.
Then you simply turn up and join us at our tables. You can buy whatever you’d like to eat or drink at the bistro bar and enjoy the stimulation of our first KM Conversation Dinner.
If you have trouble finding us call either Bobak (0402 737 185) or Marie (0404 090 110)
********************************
Here is a copy of our Conversation Menu for the evening:
Entrée
· Share your earlier memory in KM.
· What is your area of interest/practice in KM and why?
Main Meal

Stretch your mind and expand your vision – Demystifying Quantum Computing
Stretching the mind and expanding your vision enhances innovation and productivity, optimises the way the mind functions, and alleviates mental blocks.
Quantum computing will revolutionise the way we manage data, information, and more likely knowledge, in the near future.
It is anticipated that, within a few years, well-controlled quantum systems may be able to perform certain complex tasks, solve complicated & complex problems such as chemical and mathematical problems, simulate probabilistic phenomena, handle analytics, deal with predictive analytics, process big data, modelling complex processes, etc, much faster than our conventional computers can even scratch the surface of now.
In existing computing, a bit is a single piece of information that can exist in two states – 1 or 0. Quantum computing uses quantum bits, or ‘qubits’ instead. Quantum computing takes advantage of the strange ability of subatomic particles to exist in more than one state at any time. Due to the way the tiniest of particles behave, operations can be done much more quickly and use less energy than when done with classical computers. It would surpass the abilities of conventional managing data and information methods, techniques, and solutions.
But the quantum future isn’t going to come easily, and there’s no knowing what it’ll look like when it does arrive. At the moment, companies such as Google and IBM, and researchers are using a handful of different approaches to make quantum computing happen. Here’s everything you need to know about the coming quantum revolution.
• What is quantum computing?
• What do you need to know about it?
• How will it transform the economy and your business?
• How can KM help Quantum researchers?
Dr Peter Rohde, Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Quantum Software & Information at UTS, will address these questions in a completely non-technical manner, giving you the insights you need to understand the relevance of this future technology. He will explain the basic concepts of quantum computing for the lay audience, and focus especially on the implications and consequences of this technology. He will discuss in particular implications for knowledge management, as well as the unique knowledge management challenges that his field of research faces. Peter is open to learn as much from you as you do from him, so please feel free to come along to learn and discuss our future in Quantum Computing and how KM can help the current quantum computing challenges that researchers are facing.
Register now at our Meetup Page
About the presenter:
Dr Peter Rohde is ARC Future Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the Centre for Quantum Software & Information at the University of Technology Sydney. He is a world-leading researcher in optical quantum computing, also conducting research in quantum cryptography, metrology, measurement and optical state preparation. He is currently involved in China’s world-first quantum satellite program, which successfully demonstrated quantum cryptography over several thousand kilometres via satellite. He has published over 60 papers and received over 1,300 citations for his work.

NSW KM Forum June Event – Knowledge Cafe & EOFY Networking Drinks! (Facilitated by the NSW KM Forum Committee.)
Cafe Topic: “What is the latest in KM tools, processes and approaches and how are they helping organisations succeed in this increasingly complex time?”
Register now at our MeetUp Page: https://www.meetup.com/en-AU/nswkmforum/events/250971138/?isFirstPublish=true
We have decided to celebrate the EOFY a little early at our new regular base at the SMSA in a social way, by inviting you all to participate in a series of targeted, facilitated conversations using the KM Process of a “Knowledge Cafe” (aka: “World Cafe”) over drinks and nibbles.
We will be structuring our cafe table discussions around our theme: “What are the latest in KM tools, processes and approaches and how are they helping organisations succeed in this increasingly complex time?” as the catalyst for discussing experiences to date and what our community members believe this year (and beyond!) holds for Knowledge Management.
After the structured event we will invite all those interested in continuing the discussion to networking drinks down the road at the Edinburgh Castle where we are sure the conversation will continue to engage and stimulate!
If you would like to know more about the structure of a “Knowledge Cafe”, what it involves and how it is facilitated, you might like to visit the Wikipedia page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_café ) …
… or you can find some really detailed instructions on how to facilitate a Knowledge Cafe here ( http://www.kstoolkit.org/The+World+Cafe )
Our Knowledge Cafe will be facilitated by the NSW KM Forum Committee.
Date: Thursday 7th June 2018
Time: 5.30pm networking for a 6.00pm start (finish at 7.30pm)
Venue: Level 1 Lawson Room, Sydney Mechanics School of Arts (SMSA), 280 Pitt Street, Sydney, 2000
Instructions: Upon arrival at SMSA 280 Pitt Street there is a lift or stairs to Level 1 where Lawson Room is clearly marked. Feel free to contact Marie on 0404 090 110 if you can’t find the address or have any questions.
The event is free, however we ask for a small $10 donation at the door to cover venue costs, drinks and nibbles.
So join us to meet new colleagues from the Knowledge Management world, engage in stimulating conversation around the Cafe Topic, and socialise your learning over an EOFY drink or two if you wish while we’re there!

About the Topic: Demystifying the Hackathon
The “hackathon” has become one of the latest vogue terms in business. Typically used in reference to innovation. Hackathons aren’t just for start-ups. They can play a valuable role in accelerating the digital transformation and innovation of large organisations.
Hackathons characteristics are
- Centered on the customer
- Deeply cross-functional
- Starting from scratch
- Concrete and focused on output
- Iterative and continuous
A good hackathon session takes 24 hours. A 24-hour hackathon differs from more established brainstorming sessions in that it is all about results and jump-starting a way of working, not just idea generation.
