How we reported this

ADL Life in Space 2026 opens on July 20 at 1:30 PM at The Launchpad inside Lot Fourteen and will present roadmaps for space hardware and related AI tools from local firms including Fleet Space Technologies.
These sessions arrive as Adelaide records 3,500 hi-tech positions with an average salary of $86,200 and experienced specialists earning between $110,000 and $160,000, according to job data compiled in Source 2. The figures reflect demand for roles such as Systems Analysts at $122,200 and Cyber Security Engineers at $114,816, both tracked on local listings.
Weekly Friday Networking at Union Hotel
IT Social Adelaide runs every Friday at 5:30 PM at Union Hotel on 70 Waymouth Street in the CBD and remains free for attendees, per Source 1 and Source 6. The format draws members of the Adelaide Microsoft Copilot User Group, Adelaide Bitcoin Meetup, Adelaide MERN Developers Meetup Group and Junior Developers Adelaide, all listed on Source 2.
Participants use the sessions to discuss integration of new tools from companies based at Stone and Chalk, the 7-hectare precinct at Lot Fourteen that currently houses over 130 entrepreneurs working on machine learning, AI and space projects.
Hubs and Larger Events Through September
Stone and Chalk at Lot Fourteen, NVI at Tonsley and WOTSO Workspace in North Adelaide host monthly sessions including the Adelaide AWS User Group, as noted in Source 3 and Source 4. The DDD Adelaide conference is scheduled for September and will focus on developer practices tied to the same product pipelines.
