Web Summit Vancouver: Mind, AI & Consciousness Community Party
The conversations Web Summit won't have.
20,000+ people in the convention center. We're at Tanya's studio in East Van.
MAC has been meeting monthly for over a year. Philosophers and technologists and meditation practitioners asking the hard questions. Can AI be conscious? When does that matter? What do we owe it if it is?
May 13. Parker Street Studios. 50 people max.
Short MAC presentations - for giggles and awe. Two drinks. Snacks. Music. Actual conversation. No networking. No pitching. No small talk.
MAC members. BC + AI folks. Web Summit refugees who want something real. Friends.
$25 early, $35 standard. Includes permit, bartender, drinks, snacks.
This is a private event event. We're mixing the local crew with visitors who give a damn about mind, consciousness and AI.
Questions? Reach out to Loki or Tanya.
See you at Parker Street.
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.
Vancouver AI was just the start. The ecosystem keeps growing across BC... Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna, and beyond... each node bringing its own culture, needs, and experiments.
