Vancouver AI Meetup
Vancouver AI Meetup — August 2025
Meetup #20 doubled as the BC + AI launch night — special interest groups, membership infrastructure, and ecosystem mapping alongside the usual talks and demos.
Jos Duncan spoke on AI ethics, advocacy, and community, and Peter Bittner looked at the future of work. Hackathon winners took the stage too: a semantic data map, a real-time intelligent data interface, and a generative community album, all built by the room itself.
Education themes and a nod to the newly-launched Surrey AI rounded out a night that was as much about building the ecosystem as talking about it.
