Vancouver AI Meetup
Vancouver AI Meetup — May 2025
Vancouver AI Community Meetup #17 brought the room back to the Space Centre for a night that leaned practical — community AI work alongside civic, creative, and data-focused demos.
Rather than one headline talk, the format spread across several shorter demos and discussions, the kind of night where you might catch a civic-data project next to a generative art experiment next to someone's first public AI build.
The full recording and gallery below capture the room as it was that May.
