Gathering at 4:30pm, Place Jean-Paul Riopelle, marching at 5:30pm
September 16 – 17, 2026, Montreal will be hosting Canada's largest AI and tech summit, "ALL IN." The organizers boast a curated crowd of 6,500 AI "leaders" including over 2,500 companies and more than a hundred startups "shaping the future of artificial intelligence."
Over two days at the Palais des Congrès, builders of the AI hell world will be developing their mandate for our future. "All In", their brand, reflects a disastrous wager as much as an all-encompassing process of capture—datasets and computing power harvest our every thought and action, while server rooms and cooling systems consume land, water, and energy on a scale that makes a foregone conclusion of the endless ravaging of the earth.
It will be a major gathering of the Canadian capitalist class. Among speakers listed at the event are the President and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan Montreal and senior executives of companies like Sun Life, Loblaws, RBC, Telus, and Bell Canada.
The technology celebrated on their conference stage is the very same that feeds us and our loved ones social media slop—and is increasingly being used by military superpowers to slaughter people. AI is already being used by the military in the US attack on Iran and in Israel's destruction of Gaza and Lebanon. IBM, which operates an Israeli population registry, crucial for upholding apartheid, will be promoting their "responsible AI" at this conference.
QScale, a "strategic partner" in the event, is currently expanding a datacenter complex outside Quebec City that will become one of the largest in North America. Among the AI startups highlighted and attending is Rigid Robotics, which aims to develop driverless robots for Canada's extractive industry. Deep Sight is another startup that develops augmented reality glasses to instruct workers task-by-task within their jobs and to surveil and record their work. All of these efforts at technological development have a united end-point: the expansion of ecological destruction, the alienation of our lives, and the growing automation and surveillance of our world, as our rulers dream of safeguarding authority and capitalist power.
What they are trying to build is not a foregone conclusion, without concessions or politicians of any kind we can chart our own paths to a more free world. This is an invitation to join the public demonstration against All In and the AI hell world, as well as to organize against the conference as you and the people around you see fit: put up posters and graffiti, make a statement, organize a school or workplace walk-out, hand out flyers, act directly on the technologies of control and misery in our lives, let your heart and creativity be your guide!
Let's start the Fall off hot – not All In but ALL OUT — against AI!
