VW INTEL GROUP / EVENTS
Vancouver AI Events — Canadian Operator Gatherings
Vanwebdev hosts Vancouver AI events for Canadian operators running production AI workloads under PIPEDA, ITSG-33, and OSFI B-13 regulatory constraints. Specifically, the gatherings split into ninety-minute technical talks, three-hour hands-on workshops, and a recurring monthly coffee meetup for peer intelligence trades. Moreover, every event runs vendor-free by invitation policy because the room is the credential rather than the upsell. Consequently, the operator next to you is shipping a sovereign-MCP rollout in Helsinki or a Protected-B air-gap at a federal client, not a demo deck.
Upcoming Vancouver AI events on the schedule.
Three Vancouver AI events sit on the books for the next eight weeks. Specifically, every gathering reserves through The Events Calendar at the event-specific URL, and seats are capped at twenty operators per session to keep the peer-density signal high. Additionally, the cost line on each card reflects the room-rental pass-through rather than a profit margin, and a Canadian-operator role declaration is required at reservation time.
Sovereign AI Infrastructure 101
Sovereign AI Box, Sovereign-MCP Tooling, Hetzner Helsinki pass-through, and Federal Protected-B Air Gap are the four deployment patterns Canadian operators are shipping in 2026 across regulated workloads. Specifically, the talk walks each pattern through one named-client example under PIPEDA, ITSG-33, or OSFI B-13 regulatory framing.

On-Prem LLM Workshop
Hands-on vLLM and Llama 3.1 70B deployment on a single on-prem box under PIPEDA and ITSG-33 constraints, paired with pgvector retrieval over a Protected-B-classified corpus. Specifically, operators bring a laptop with SSH access and walk out with a runbook that survived three production rollbacks.

Vancouver AI Operators Coffee
Monthly drop-in for Canadian operators running production AI on a rotating Main Street cafe schedule. Specifically, the format is bring-one-problem-leave-with-two-opinions over ninety minutes of moderated peer triage, and the Vanwebdev LTD facilitators rotate between Sovereign-MCP Tooling and Hetzner Helsinki pass-through veterans.

Got a Canadian AI operations topic the room should hear? Vanwebdev curates the Vancouver AI events schedule by operator demand rather than by sponsorship dollars, so an inbound topic with a real production scar attached almost always lands on the calendar within six weeks.
Past Vancouver AI events archive coming soon.
The Vanwebdev Vancouver AI events programme started in 2026, so the past-events archive will publish once the first three sessions ship and the operator-only video and runbook drops finish post-production. Additionally, the archive will host slide decks, runbook PDFs, and the bring-one-problem-leave-with-two-opinions notes from each monthly coffee meetup.
Three Vancouver AI events formats. One Canadian-operator audience.
Talks (90 min)
Single-topic technical deep-dive in a ninety-minute room with twenty Canadian operator seats and a CA$25 room pass-through. Specifically, the slides and runbook drop into attendee inboxes within forty-eight hours of the session under a no-redistribution clause.
Workshops (3 hrs)
Hands-on three-hour lab on a single deployment pattern with twelve laptop seats and a CA$180 room and materials pass-through. Specifically, every operator walks out with a working runbook that survived live deployment to a Sovereign AI Box or Hetzner Helsinki pass-through staging environment.
Coffee meetups (2 hrs, monthly)
Recurring monthly peer triage on a rotating Main Street cafe schedule with sixteen Canadian operator seats and zero cost beyond a self-bought coffee. Specifically, the format is bring-one-production-problem-and-leave-with-at-least-two-opposing-operator-opinions across ninety facilitated minutes.
Reading more, deploying more.
Every Vancouver AI event drops a runbook PDF and a slide deck into the Vanwebdev Library within forty-eight hours of the session under a Canadian-operator no-redistribution clause. Additionally, the Reading Group dispatch threads a one-paragraph debrief into the following Tuesday issue so absentees keep the signal.
