   "description": "## Who Gets to Thrive? Opportunity and Power in an AI-Driven World\n\n**Date:** Thursday, December 3, 2026\n**Time:** 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM (MST)\n**Location: Clio, 150 - 9th Avenue SW, Suite 2500, Calgary, AB**\n\nAI is changing more than how we work. It is reshaping what opportunities exist, what skills and ideas are valued, who has access to resources, and who has the power to shape what comes next.\nIn Calgary, where energy, clean tech, finance, and a growing startup ecosystem are shaping the future of work and economic opportunity, these changes raise important questions. What becomes more possible as AI evolves? What becomes harder? And who has the resources, influence, and support to adapt and thrive?\n\nThis QT Connect meetup creates space for community members to explore these questions together. Through guided small-group conversations, interactive questions, and shared reflection, participants will discuss how AI is changing what feels possible in their careers, organizations, and communities—and what people need to have meaningful opportunities as work continues to change.\nTogether, we’ll explore:\n\n* Where AI is creating new opportunities accompanied with where opportunities may be limited\n* How changing technologies are affecting work, careers, entrepreneurship, and communities\n* Who currently has the resources, knowledge, networks, and influence to benefit from these changes\n* What people need to navigate an AI-shaped future with greater agency and choice\n* What organizations and communities can do to help more people participate and thrive\n\nThis QT Connect gathering is designed as a guided community conversation grounded in lived experience, reflection, and participation.\n**You do not need to work in AI or tech, or identify as queer to join this conversation.**\nThis space is for technologists, creatives, founders, community advocates, students, digital workers, and anyone thinking about how AI is changing work, opportunity, and our collective future.
