​ABOUT VANCOUVER AI

​Vancouver AI is a neural network of curious humans mapping the terrain between technology and consciousness.

​Since 2023, we've been building a different kind of tech community: one that questions as much as it creates, that bridges art galleries and research labs, corporate towers and garage workshops.

​We run monthly gatherings where you'll find the unexpected: AI researchers jamming with musicians, developers debating ethics with philosophers, and entrepreneurs finding inspiration in indigenous wisdom. Together we're co-creating understanding.

​Upcoming Events:

​No outsiders calling the shots, no Silicon Valley hypercapitalist agenda... just a self-organizing system of people who give a damn about where this technological revolution is taking us and who gets to steer.

​ABOUT VANCOUVER AI & THE BC + AI ECOSYSTEM

​Vancouver AI was just the start. BC's AI Ecosystem continues to grow, with new community hubs emerging in Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna, and beyond—each contributing unique perspectives to a thriving, interconnected network.

​BC + AI represents a collective, province-wide effort to democratize AI knowledge, innovation, and opportunity.
