Global AI Community: January 2026 Update & New Resources
Happy New Year, Global AI Community! We kicked off 2026 with our first Chapter Leads meeting of the year. It was a packed session focused on streamlining our processes, moving to new platforms, and gearing up for AgentCamp.
If you missed the live discussion, you can watch the full recording, or check out the summary below.
1. AgentCamp is Here! ​
The AgentCamp season officially runs from February 1st to June 1st, 2026.
Status: We already have over 40 events registered across 27 countries!
First Success: A huge shoutout to Paulo and the team in Silao, Mexico, for hosting an incredible inaugural AgentCamp.
New Content: We have released two brand-new workshops created by Savvy to help you run your events:
Both come with step-by-step guides and GitHub repositories.
💡 Reminder: You do not need to be a chapter lead to organize an Agent Camp. Anyone with a Global AI account can host an in-person, virtual, or hybrid event.
2. The Move to Discord ​
Action Required: We are officially moving our community chat from Slack to Discord.
Deadline: Slack will remain active only until February 28th.
Join Now: We already have over 300 members on the new server. You can join using your personal or Global AI email.
This is where all future announcements, contest details, and community engagement will happen.
3. Updates to Documentation & Benefits ​
Based on your feedback over the holidays, we have updated our docs with clearer guides and video tutorials.
- Azure Credits: We’ve added step-by-step videos for both organizers (how to request credits) and attendees (how to claim them). Read more.
Note: Please request credits at least 7 days before your event.
Canva Pro : New documentation is available detailing how to access Canva Pro licenses. Due to limited availability, these are reserved for active chapter leads who regularly organize events and share on social media.
Meetup Sponsorship: We have clarified the eligibility criteria for keeping your Meetup Pro sponsorship. To maintain sponsorship, groups should organize at least one in-person event every 3 months and stay active in the community (now on Discord). Read more.
