Alberta is leading the way on AI in government. Come celebrate that over drinks.

Two hours of good content with drinks and snacks throughout, plus an extra hour of happy hour. Government leaders and AI builders spotlight real stories of what's working, then stick around to listen, learn, and connect.

AI Success Stories

Alberta government is a leading practice jurisdiction for AI adoption. Hear directly from the people who made it happen, what worked, what didn't, and what they'd do differently.

Paired Networking

Government meets startups in structured, facilitated matchups. The goal is simple: swap stories and share lessons learned from actually building and deploying tech in government.

Drinks and Snacks All Afternoon

Drinks and snacks flow from the moment you walk in. After the programming wraps, you get an extra hour to keep the conversations going. No agendas, no pitch decks. Just good people and a good time.

Stories, connections, then happy hour.

We start with stories worth hearing, move into connections worth making, and finish with drinks and conversation. Free drinks and snacks the whole time.
