Since 2018, three Strategic Forums on Artificial Intelligence have been organized by the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal, while Scale AI, Canada's artificial intelligence supercluster, has held two editions of its key event, AI in Action. For its part, Forum IA Québec has recently joined the Quebec ecosystem to act as a hub for strategic reflection and consultation in the sector.

The CCMM, Scale AI and Forum IA Québec are teaming up this year to offer you an event highlighting the Québec and pan-Canadian artificial intelligence ecosystem. This two-day activity is a must for all players in the sector and for companies wishing to discover how and why to invest in AI. These meetings will be held on a virtual platform.
