Introducing the Global AI Advisors: Community Voices Shaping Our Future
Five advisors. Five countries. One shared mission: building a stronger Global AI Community, together.
The Global AI Community has always been about people coming together to learn, share knowledge, and build with AI. From local meetups to global conferences, everything we do is powered by passionate individuals who believe that learning and innovation are better when we do them together.
As our community continues to grow, so does the importance of making sure the people who build and support it have a voice in shaping its future.
That's why we're excited to introduce the Global AI Advisors!

Why Global AI Advisors?
With more than 200 chapters across over 70 countries, the Global AI Community is powered by people with different backgrounds, experiences, and ideas.
And that's one of our greatest strengths.
But building a truly global community means doing more than connecting people across borders. It means listening to them, understanding what matters in their regions, and creating opportunities for their ideas to influence what comes next.
The Global AI Advisors will help us do exactly that.
By sharing their experiences, supporting community leaders, and offering thoughtful perspectives, our advisors will help guide the continued development of the Global AI Community.
What Will Our Advisors Do?
Our advisors will bring valuable community perspectives to important conversations about our future, including:
- Supporting our chapters: Helping us understand the opportunities and challenges faced by local community leaders.
- Shaping community initiatives: Contributing ideas and feedback on events, programs, and experiences.
- Strengthening global connections: Bringing regional perspectives into conversations that affect our worldwide community.
- Sharing knowledge and experience: Helping us learn from what works across different communities.
- Guiding our future: Offering constructive feedback and recommendations as Global AI continues to evolve.
Most importantly, they'll help ensure that our decisions reflect the needs and experiences of the people who make this community what it is.
Built by the Community. Guided by the Community.
The Global AI Community isn't just about technology. It's about the people behind it.
The organizers who bring communities together. The speakers who share what they've learned. The developers who show up curious and leave inspired. And the volunteers who make it all happen.
Our advisors are another important part of that story.
Their involvement reinforces a principle that has always been central to Global AI: the best communities aren't built for people. They're built with people.
Let's Build What Comes Next
We're incredibly excited to welcome Dennis, Hanna, Keyla, Ron, and Vesa as Global AI Advisors.

The future of Global AI is something we're building together.
People. Ideas. Real Impact.
