​Vancouver AI serves as BC's cross-disciplinary gathering point where, within the vibrant BC + AI industry ecosystem, diverse participants—from coding novices to seasoned researchers—connect to share insights, showcase applications, and collectively shape responsible AI development through monthly in-person exchanges.

​
Come find your crew.
Come deepen the signal.
Come as you are.

​Vancouver Ai Community Meetups are a live transmission from the edge of what’s possible. An underground broadcast of brains, heart, culture and code.

​This isn’t for the hype beasts or the headline-chasers.
It’s for the artists tuning frequencies.
The builders seeking alignment.
The curious, the critical, the co-creators.

​Expect:
🌿 A ceremony to ground us.
🧠 Talks to stretch your thinking.
🤖 Demos from the weird frontier.
🍩 Snacks. Stickers. Stargazing.
🔥 And a room full of real ones.

​Bring your startup idea, your sketchbook, your skepticism, your story.
Bring your ancestors and your algorithms.
Bring whatever makes you you — and plug in.

​We’re building BC’s AI culture — together. Radically local. Deeply human. Fiercely experimental.

​This is Mission 19. You’re invited.

​​ABOUT VANCOUVER AI

​​Vancouver AI is a neural network of curious humans mapping the terrain between technology and consciousness.

​​Since 2023, we've been building a different kind of tech community: one that questions as much as it creates, that bridges art galleries and research labs, corporate towers and garage workshops.

​​We run monthly gatherings where you'll find the unexpected: AI researchers jamming with musicians, developers debating ethics with philosophers, and entrepreneurs finding inspiration in indigenous wisdom. Together we're co-creating understanding.

​​No outsiders calling the shots, no Silicon Valley hypercapitalist agenda—just a self-organizing system of people who give a damn about where this technological revolution is taking us and who gets to steer.

​​ABOUT THE BC + AI ECOSYSTEM

​​Vancouver AI was just the start. BC's AI Ecosystem continues to grow, with new community hubs emerging in Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna, and beyond—each contributing unique perspectives to a thriving, interconnected network.

​​BC + AI represents a collective, province-wide effort to democratize AI knowledge, innovation, and opportunity. If you're in Surrey (or nearby!), come join the movement and connect with fellow AI explorers.
