Brew Build #4 Ethical AI & Future of Work
FediCollective's goal is to build a warm and diverse community. No question is too small. No idea is too silly. This is a place where we all help each other learn and grow.
Your host Crissy loves coffee, cats, and connecting people together! She believes the future of the internet should be in our hands, not controlled by big tech companies.
BRIDGES NOT WALLS
Brew & Build is a Data-Driven Collab: a low-pressure 3rd space — think coffee shop, not conference room — where creatives and data folks can mingle, share ideas, and organically form teams.
The ultimate goal is to fuse the empathy of creative design with the rigor of data science to build the next generation of social platforms. It's about building a better internet, one coffee and brilliant conversation at a time!

VENUE
Reservation under "Crissy" with seating for 8 people near the wall. This is a 3 min. walk from Royal Oak Skytrain! Picked this cozy café because it's easy to get to by transit (street parking nearby: paid but you can find free on the side streets like Palm Ave.). Menu & pricing at https://sweetpuffin.ca
Note: there's a suggested spend of $10 to help support this venue so please buy a cream puff or drink for you while at this event, thanks :)
