​We're the intersection where diverse disciplines, backgrounds, and interests converge to explore our shared humanity in the age of AI.

​All welcome, no gatekeeping. Bring your projects, your questions, your wild ideas—this is where the future gets built together.

​GET INVOLVED:

• ​​Want to speak? Have an insight that isn't "AI will change everything"?

• ​​Built something weird? Demo spots open.

• ​​Join the community: Get in the Vancouver AI CORE Group where the real conversations happen

​VANCOUVER AI CORE MEMBERSHIP

​Vancouver AI CORE just booted up. 12-month passport to every gathering. Backdoor access to our Members Group Chat & Knowledge Base for raw, unfiltered dialogues. Something built by the community, for the community.

​This isn't subscription content—it's community infrastructure. The digital campfire where tomorrow's questions get asked today.

​Initialize: https://core.bc-ai.net/

​THE SPACE

​​H.R. MacMillan Space Centre, 1100 Chestnut St. The place with the UFO-looking roof that makes you feel like you're discussing AI in the appropriate sci-fi setting. Fully accessible. Parking available for your carbon-producing vehicles. Transit nearby.​

​​THE SPONSORS

​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.

​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 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. If you're in Surrey (or nearby!), come join the movement and connect with fellow AI explorers.

​​THE FINE PRINT:

• ​​Limited to 200 human bodies

• ​​Will sell out, just like every other VAI event

• ​​Bring stickers to trade. Yes, we're serious. Analog connection in a digital world.

• ​​Photography & video will happen. Your mug might end up online. If you're in witness protection, wear a fake mustache.

​​The machines are watching. Let's give them something worth the bandwidth.
