Calm Before the Storm
Hey folks - Web Summit's landing next week, and before the chaos hits, thought we should grab a drink with actual locals who make cool shit.
Sunday, 4pm. Alibi Room. Nothing fancy.
For those who don't know us, we're the Vancouver AI crew - the folks running community meetups at Olympic Village, building the BC AI ecosystem, and generally trying to make AI less corporate and more human. Some of us coach at Google's AI journalism lab, some build weird art with machines, some code the future at local startups.
Just a chance to connect with our people before the conference madness takes over downtown. No agenda, no pitches, no LinkedIn profile optimization tips.
Bring friends. Drink beer. Talk about what you're inspires you.

About BC + AI Ecosystem Association
BC + AI is the province-wide layer: a community-driven, nonprofit industry association built to create public-interest infrastructure for AI in British Columbia.
Not a corporate lobby. Not a think tank. A commons where meetups turn into working groups, prototypes turn into shared tools, and community values turn into governance.
