What we’re about
Welcome to the Vancouver ChatGPT User Group, where we come together to explore the limitless potential of ChatGPT and its sophisticated engines. Our mission is to create a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about AI, software engineering, automation, and content creation, and who are keen to share their knowledge and experiences with others.
As a member of this group, you'll have the opportunity to learn, network, and collaborate with professionals from a diverse range of industries. Whether you're in Sales and Marketing, own an SME business, or work in IT and Software Engineering, you'll find a wealth of valuable insights and practical tips to help you get the most out of ChatGPT.
Our events and discussions will cover a wide range of topics, including Prompts, automation, APIs, development, and much more. We believe that the key to success in this field is through continuous learning and sharing, and that's why we encourage our members to contribute to the group by sharing their experiences and expertise.
If you're looking to gain a deeper understanding of ChatGPT and its engines, discover new applications and use cases, and connect with other like-minded individuals, then this group is the perfect fit for you.

# *Vancouver AI warmly welcomes all members of the community passionate about shaping the future of AI - researchers, creatives, tech enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, professionals, students, and beyond!*
***
Technology isn't neutral and neither are we. Vancouver AI is assembling the brain trust of BC's AI ecosystem... researchers with revolutionary vision, artists with computational minds, and builders who question what they're building.
Our keynotes aren't corporate retreads...they're field reports from the edge, raw transmissions from explorers who've gone beyond the algorithm and returned with something worth sharing.
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.
The machines are learning. Are we? Join the conversation that matters.***
## 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

- **Creative Mornings Vancouver:** Morning people who somehow still have good ideas

*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 VANCOUVER AI & 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.***
## 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.
