Sponsorship
Back the room.
BC + AI is a grassroots, member-supported community building practical, responsible AI capacity across British Columbia. Sponsorship is how the rooms stay open, the seats stay reachable, and the knowledge stays public. Not a logo on a slide: a stake in the ecosystem.
What your sponsorship does
- Keeps events in person. Venues, food, AV, photographers, and the human work that keeps community rooms warm and worth showing up to.
- Funds scholarship seats. Your support puts people in the room and in programs when cost would otherwise be the barrier.
- Builds public knowledge. Recaps, talk videos, reading lists, the member directory, and practical guides are open to everyone, not just members.
- Stays local. Local venues, local photographers, local hosts. Sponsorship circulates in British Columbia, not out of it.
Ways to show up
Events
Sponsor a night
Put your name behind a Vancouver AI meetup or a regional chapter night. These are the rooms where the community actually meets.
Programs
Back a cohort
Help run a certification or accelerator cohort, from the Animation Accelerator to Responsible AI Professional.
Access
Fund scholarship seats
Underwrite seats for students, newcomers, and folks for whom cost is the only thing in the way.
In-kind works too: venues, food, AV, swag, prizes. If it helps the room, let's talk about it.
Let's build something
Sponsorship here is a conversation, not a checkout.
Tell us who you are and what you care about, and we'll find the fit: a night, a cohort, a fund, or something we haven't thought of yet. Ecosystem, not empire.
