Since 2018, the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal has organized three Strategic Forums on Artificial Intelligence. In that time, Scale AI, Canada's artificial intelligence supercluster, has held two editions of its key event: AI in Action. The Forum IA Québec has also recently joined the Québec ecosystem to stimulate this flourishing industry. 

In 2021, these three organizations teamed up to create the high point of the year in artificial intelligence—AI Meetings, a two-day virtual event open to the public.

On April 8, 2022, the CCMM, AI Scale and the Forum IA Québec will team up again to create a second day-long edition of AI Meetings. This edition will be closed by the presentation of the first edition of the Quebec Excellence in AI Awards, which will highlight the role of several organizations in the deployment of AI in Quebec and its international influence.

In-person experience!

We will warmly welcome you with breakfast.

Everyone will receive a gourmet boxed meal at lunchtime.
