As a Global AI Chapter Lead, you get access to the official Global AI Discord server.
This is the primary space to connect directly with Global AI HQ and chapter leads from across the world.
Discord and internal Slack
Discord is now the primary place to stay connected with the community and get general chapter support. Slack is used for internal coordination and restricted tool access, not as the general community chat.
| Purpose | Current space | How to request access |
|---|---|---|
| Community connection and general chapter support | Global AI Discord | Join Discord; chapter leads can request the Chapter Lead role using the steps below. |
| Global AI Conference organizer coordination | Private Global AI Conference channel in the Global AI HQ Slack workspace | Invited, approved co-organizers receive access during HQ onboarding. Contact hq@globalai.community if access is missing. |
| Global AI Community Connect organizer coordination | Private Global AI Community Connect channel in the Global AI HQ Slack workspace | Approved organizers receive access during HQ onboarding. Contact hq@globalai.community if access is missing. |
| Advisory Board work | Private Advisory Board Slack space | Elected members can contact hello@globalai.community for access. |
| StreamYard access | Restricted #streamyard-pin channel in Slack |
Email support@globalai.community from your Global AI chapter email address; see the StreamYard guide. |
These internal Slack uses are separate from the community chat migration announced in the January 2026 meeting recap. That recap is a historical announcement, not the current access guide. Joining Discord does not grant access to private Slack spaces; request access through the relevant contact above.
