Meet the people
putting AI to work.

A night at
Vancouver AI.

You'll meet builders and artists, researchers, students, and people who are still figuring out what to make of AI. You don't need to have a demo to join the conversation.

Different nights.
Same curiosity.

Early mic nights, hands-on experiments, the launch of BC + AI, and a room under the dome. Our photographers have been keeping the record.
