CommBank House at SXSW Sydney

Overview

Ever feel like navigating your finances is a mess? Commonwealth Bank has created a literal maze in Tumbalong Park to showcase how, as the biggest corporate user of AI, it's embracing new tech to improve the customer experience. Created with AI technology from ideation to build, AMAiZING at CommBank House will feature three sections for attendees to explore.

Grab a free coffee in the lounge area before checking out the Tech for Good Gallery, which highlights some of the various technological innovations used by CommBank for everything from cybersecurity and protection from financial abuse to support after natural disasters and future forecasting based on historical data. Learn about data mining from a tech-based artwork, compete with a computer in a machine-learning game and uncover more about digital forensics and scam protection with an interactive activity.

Depending on the time, you might be able to catch a talk or demonstration on the stage or learn more about AI or start-ups from the financial pros at CommBank.

Nearby, there'll be a bar run by Newtown hotspot Buddy's Bar. One of CommBank's small business clients, Buddy's Bar is known for its innovative self-serve drinks (the first venue in Sydney to do so) and buzzy vibes. Expect more of the same when you stop by to enjoy a drink while looking out onto the SXSW festival hub in Tumbalong Park.

CommBank House will be open at Tumbalong Park between 9am–10pm from Sunday, October 15, to Sunday, October 22.
