AI Happy Hour at FriendsQuarters #10: Leave the Small Talk to the Bots
AHH FQ #10 · Friday, February 12 · 4–7 PM · FriendsQuarters, Vancouver
Leave the Small Talk to the Bots
Take a break from the screen and spend a bit of Friday with us. Bring a friend and a question you’ve been saving for somebody outside your usual circle.
AHH FQ is BC + AI’s monthly Friday drop-in at FriendsQuarters. Say hi at the bar, grab a couch, and compare notes with someone who’s working on something different from you. If it’s your first time, there’s room for you at the table.

About BC + AI
Part solarpunk R&D lab, part community potluck. BC + AI brings curious humans together to make things, ask hard questions, and have a say in where this technology takes us.
We’re a member-driven nonprofit building public-interest infrastructure for AI in British Columbia. A commons where meetups turn into working groups, prototypes turn into shared tools, and community values turn into governance. Vancouver AI was the first room. The work keeps growing through the people who show up and give a damn.
Multi-modal, multi-cultural, future-facing, and radically local.
Plug into the bigger organism
Bring the half-working thing. Somebody here might know what to do with it.
Membership helps keep this whole strange, useful organism alive. Bring a stuck project to Office Hours, find collaborators through the directory, or help start the working group you wish existed. Keep making things together between meetups.
Your dues help sustain the rooms, the connections, and the knowledge we put back into public.
Join BC + AI. Help build what happens next.
