Calm Before the Storm #WebSummit2026

​Our meetups have always been inclusive spaces for discussions that mix creatives, developers researchers, and educators in one delicious creative soup.

​Think of BC’s AI ecosystem as a living mycelial web — diverse minds passing creative “nutrients” back and forth to spark new growth.

​Show‑Up‑When‑You‑Can / Drift‑Out‑When‑You‑Need

​No agenda. No lightning rounds. No polite applause breaks. Roll in any time between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

​Grab a corner booth if it’s free, weave between tables if it’s packed, and trade half‑baked notions with strangers who speak your dialect of future‑building.

​We support British Columbia’s transition into ethical, inclusive AI—by helping public institutions, businesses, and community leaders build the knowledge, skills, and partnerships they need to navigate emerging technologies.

​DISCLAIMER:

​This event is, in absolutely no uncertain terms, NOT official WEBSUMMIT anything—unless by “official” you mean “officially a bunch of actual, non-robotic humans making the most out of whatever weirdness lands in our city.” No WEBSUMMIT overlords, no secret handshakes, just genuine people, questionable ideas, and maximum realness.

​If you accidentally learn something, make a friend, or start a revolution, that’s on you.
