From Dream to Reality: A Fireside Chat w. Tara Bosch, Founder of Snackish

A year ago, we hosted our first Thread brunch because we truly believe that some of the best ideas start with good coffee, delicious food, and the right women around the table. Join us for our anniversary brunch with other local women in tech and beyond to connect, swap stories, and enjoy great conversation. Bring your appetite, and we handle the vibe. ⚠️ Limited to 25 guests. If you RSVP, we are counting on you as another woman in tech might miss her chance. 🌹 The Thread RSVP Code By registering, you commit to honoring your word and showing up in person. A lot of care goes into planning every Thread event. Last-minute cancellations or no-shows impact hosts, venue partners, and the quality of our gatherings. If you cannot attend, please cancel at least 48 hours in advance so another person can take your spot. No-shows are tracked to protect the quality of the experience.

Building Next Gen Autonomous Agentic Systems with Google - Vancouver Join Google and AICamp for an intensive, 90-minute in-person build lab where theory translates directly into functional software. Most AI tutorials stop at simple single-turn prompts, but scalable systems require autonomous agents that reason over live data, manage persistent context, and execute complex multi-step tasks. In this hands-on workshop, you will step beyond conversational interfaces to architect, configure, and deploy next-generation autonomous agentic systems using Google Cloud. Bring your laptop! This is an active engineering session with zero local setup required. You will leave with a fully functioning system running in your cloud environment. What We'll Do: Autonomous Task Orchestration: Configure multi-step agent workflows that plan, reason, and act across complex task flows. State & Tool Integration: Connect agent architectures to cloud tools, execution environments, and live datasets. Resilient System Design: Implement robust patterns built to manage complex runtime inputs, long-running processes, and error recovery. Agenda: \- 5:00pm\~5:30pm: Checkin\, food and networking \- 5:30pm\~7:30pm: Hands\-on workshop/Code labs \- 7:30pm\~8:00pm: Build your own projects \- 8:00pm\~8:30pm: Demo\, Open discussion and Mixer Hands-on Workshop: Building Resilient Asynchronous Agents Moving beyond conversational chatbots requires systems that do more than predict the next token. Real-world autonomous architectures must plan multi-step operations, interface with external tools, maintain state across asynchronous operations, and recover cleanly from runtime failures. In this intensive 90-minute, in-person masterclass hosted by Google and AICamp, you will move directly into active engineering. Working entirely inside Google Cloud Shell, you will build and deploy a next-generatio

Open Coffee Club is a casual gathering of people involved/interested in founding, operating or funding startups. The vibe is more hangout than event and provides people with a regular time and location to talk shop, discuss news, ask questions and and meet others in the startup community they may only see occasionally at more formal events. Location: Nelson the Seagull, 315 Carrall St, Vancouver, BC V6B 2J4 Once You Arrive: You can locate us by looking for the table with the small LED display: "Vancouver Founders Open Coffee Club."

Join us at SFU's Segal Centre at Harbour Centre on October 21st for the Vancouver Physical AI Workshop and Meetup, co-presented by Nebius and Voxel51. The evening opens with networking, food, and drinks, followed by a hands-on workshop on building physical AI applications with FiftyOne, from curating robotics and sensor datasets to evaluating vision models on real-world data. Networking continues after the workshop. A laptop is required to participate in the hands-on workshop - please bring one. Space is limited, so register early. A company, university, or government email address is required to take part in the hands-on workshop. Personal and disposable email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and similar) cannot be used for the workshop environment.
