Welcome to 2023. If youโre new here, this is the Wednesday Events Briefing. At least it was. Or, it is โ until next week. Itโs typically been a weekly email with nothing more than upcoming social activities. But, starting January 11, weโll be adding a few more goodies for you to digest. In the meantime, check out our just-announced AI event below. Weโll see you again on Sunday for our regular round-up of the weekโs top 20+ tech news stories. Enjoy!

๐ค #vtjtalks: ChatGPT, Robotics, and How AI Will Change Everything
#vtjtalks monthly events bring together entrepreneurs, executives, talent, investors, and tech community members to network and learn.
From generative AI and life sciences, AI video creation, robotics, digital twins and industrial automation, the artificial intelligence space is exploding. For anyone new to the field, it can be a bit intimidating.
But you can join us this month to hear from local leaders about what to watch in AI in 2023 โ in Vancouver and Beyond.
Weโre announcing speakers on a rolling basis, but you can grab a discounted ticket right now while they last. Our first speaker is Handol Kim, co-founder and CEO of Variational AI.
