About Surrey AI
The Surrey AI Community is a grassroots movement, independently led by local AI advocates Matthew Schwartzman & Ryv Valiquette, dedicated to expanding the vibrant BC + AI ecosystem.
Inspired by the dynamic, inclusive culture established by Vancouver AI events, our gatherings provide a welcoming environment for exploration, experimentation, and idea-sharing. This is a space created by community members, for community members—bringing together curious minds, seasoned AI experts, and rising talents to push the frontiers of possibility.
What started in Vancouver is now growing in Surrey, Victoria, Kelowna, and beyond. Your presence helps shape the story.
Vancouver 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.
Support it. Show up. Contribute.
Because AI is about much more than technology - it's about the passionate community driving progress together.
