VIATEC

[Vancouver Island's largest AI conference, built by Victoria's tech and data community for professionals navigating the age of AI.]
[Prompt Victoria launched in 2025 as Vancouver Island's first conference focused on practical AI for business and professionals.]
[The inaugural event sold out at 350 attendees, featured 28 speakers across two tracks, and finished with an NPS of 71 — among the highest recorded for a first-year conference.]
[Presented by VIATEC and co-organized with the Victoria Data Society, PlusROI Online Marketing, and AI4Enterprise, the conference grew out of a simple observation: Victoria has real AI expertise, but professionals across the Island needed a neutral space to cut through the hype and share what's actually working.]
[For 2026 we return on November 5 at the Victoria Conference Centre with an expanded program — three tracks, more speakers, and the same focus: practical learning, honest conversation, and real connections.]
[Prompt Victoria is presented by VIATEC and co-organized by three partners from Greater Victoria's tech and data community.]
