Speakers & Performers
Khayyam Wakil: Award-Winning Storyteller & Cybernetician
A bit of a dabbler. Had my first computer when I was 6. Built my first computer when I was 8. Got hacked copies to Corel Draw 10 and Photoshop 3 and the rest is history. I've been fortunate to work in so many sectors and industries. My favorite has been with immersive media for the past 16 years. Won a grip of awards, built things that no one has ever been able to before, and am now I'm one of the most useful Swiss Army Knife that you've never seen before. The only way I know how to describe it is being 'A Renaissance Generalist.' My superpower is transmuting knowledge into wisdom, then applying it.
Ed Kennedy: Founder & CEO
Ed will share an overview of the ecosystem of development tools for building your own AI first application.
TICKET INFO
🌱 EARLYWORM - CA$40
For the quick-draw hackers and optimization enthusiasts. Like finding an exploit in the matrix - you get the full experience at a discount just for being fast on the draw. Same awesome event, just with extra smug points for gaming the system.
Why "worm" not "bird"? Because birds aren't real, but worms are the original neural networks. Trust me on this one.
🎯 STANDARD - CA$60
The classic ticket for the classic explorer. No bells, no whistles, just pure uncut access to Vancouver's spiciest AI gathering. You get:
Full access to all talks & demos
Networking with our galaxy-brain community
Cosmic cocktails & nebula nibbles
That feeling when your neural networks align just right
🧠 SUPPORTER - CA$120
Think this ticket is expensive? Wait until you see what Web3 folks charge for a jpeg of a bored ape! But seriously, this is about stepping up as a true supporter of Vancouver's AI revolution.
