Great turnout for our OMRF Club Otago June event
12/06/2025
A huge thank you to everyone who braved the Dunedin rain and wintry conditions to join us at today's OMRF Club Otago on 12th June.
I think we can all agree it was well worth it - to see such an amazing father and son present together and have so much respect for each other's work was quite a privilege. We had a nearly sold out Hutton Theatre, and the Otago Medical Research Foundation truly appreciates everyone's support.
Sir Ian and Ben Taylor entertained guests with stories of their journey through Animation Research Ltd. This included the COVID-19 challenges of 2020 when the team had to come up with new innovative technology for the PGA Golf from the other side of the world whilst in lock-down.
Sir Ian and Ben then wowed the audience with AI, encouraging them to embrace AI rather than to fear it. Their presentation included some pretty mindblowing videos which reiterated the power of AI.
Thank you also to our raffle prize sponsors, we truly appreciate your support - PAK'nSAVE Dunedin, Challenge Marketing Ltd, The Swan Cafe and Bar, Rialto Cinemas Dunedin and Misha's Vineyard.
Finally, a shout out to the teams at Tūhura Otago Museum and Precinct Food for their wonderful staff, venue and catering. It was a memorable afternoon.
