Events

CAIDA proudly hosts events to engage and connect the BC AI community and beyond.  CAIDA has three ongoing seminar series: AI & Fundamentals, AI & Applications, and AI & Ethics; attracting more than 2000 attendees since September 2019.  CAIDA also hosts larger events: our first AI showcase "Emerging Technologies: BC's AI Showcase" was in November 2020 and had over 700 registrants, and CAIDA’s 2021 Open House had almost 200 registrants.  We look forward to hosting more events to help connect the AI community.  If you would like to be notified about our upcoming events, please contact admin@caida.ubc.ca to be added to our email list.
