Comox Valley AI Community Meetup

A local gathering for people trying to understand AI without the hype, the panic, or the sales pitch.

AI is already here. It is showing up in schools, studios, small businesses, local government, health care, creative work, and everyday conversations across the Valley.

Some people are building with it. Some are worried about it. Most of us are somewhere in between.

Comox Valley AI is a place to bring all of that into the same room.

We gather people from Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland, and the wider Island to talk honestly about what these tools are doing to our work, our communities, our kids, our creativity, and our sense of what it means to be human.

This is not a tech bro meetup. It is not a pitch night. It is not a doom panel.

It is a room for local examples, practical questions, shared experiments, and real conversation.

What To Expect

We’ll hear from people in the community who are already working with AI, affected by it, questioning it, or trying to make sense of it.

There will be time to meet people, ask questions, share what you’re seeing, and help shape what this local chapter becomes.

The first Comox Valley gathering brought out 75 people. Educators, artists, parents, founders, public servants, builders, skeptics, and curious neighbours all showed up.
