Raise a toast to two decades of AI excellence in Alberta

In celebration of Amii’s anniversary, we are proud to present the inaugural AI Week!

From May 24 to 27, attendees are invited to immerse themselves in the deep science of AI & ML.

With experiences for all ages and levels of understanding, this week-long celebration will be full of opportunities to build knowledge, connect with industry leaders and get acquainted with leading AI researchers.

The festivities coincide with Amii’s 20th anniversary -- the organization began in 2002 under the name AICML (the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Machine Learning) -- and the 5th anniversary of Amii becoming a not-for-profit and national AI institute under the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy.

“Over the past 20 years, we’ve invested in Alberta’s world-class AI community in order to secure our province’s role as leaders in the global future economy,” says Cam Linke, Amii CEO. “We’re thrilled to present AI Week to celebrate the successes of the past two decades and launch our bold vision for Alberta’s future. There is a massive opportunity for AI and machine learning to drive the diversification of our economy and accelerate competitive advantages for businesses right here in Alberta.”

“We’ve built the foundations, and now’s the time for us all to move forward together into a prosperous future.”

The week-long celebration will include:

• Keynotes, presentations and informal talks for a range of knowledge levels

• Academic symposium highlighting Amii’s AI research excellence

• AI talent mixer connecting job seekers with potential employers

• K-12 sessions exploring future careers in AI

• Community events series organized by partner organizations

• Socials, mixers, networking events, and more
