Real talk. Real growth. Real connection.
A room fills with people looking for something real. Some walk in with a friend. Plenty walk in alone. By the end of the night, the room is buzzing with conversation, laughter, and the kind of connection that keeps people coming back.

Hot. Bothered. Informed.
Sweating through your sheets. Forgetting why you walked into the room. Snapping at your partner for breathing too loud. Sound familiar?

Arrive early and make yourself at home
Meet our Community Partners, discover a hand picked local business, and learn about the charity we're supporting that month. Grab a drink or a bite from the INN Lounge, find your seat, and let the conversations begin.

Kelly, Krista and Deena welcome you
They share what the evening has in store. It's also the moment you'll discover why we called it Unfiltered AF. By the time they're finished, the room has settled, and everyone is ready for the conversations ahead.
- 037:00 PM
We don't just choose speakers. We curate experiences.
Every speaker is intentionally chosen because the message, the energy, and the room all matter. Together, they create an evening that informs, inspires, and stays with you.

Something we do together
Each month, we invite everyone into a simple shared experience. Sometimes it's playful, sometimes it's grounding, but it's always designed to deepen connection, spark reflection, or inspire growth. Join in at whatever level feels right for you.
Four things we hold to.
Connection
We are better in a room together than we are apart. Every choice we make about a night comes back to whether it brings people closer.
Community
Regulars who notice when you come back. Newcomers who were brave enough to walk in on their own. Both matter, and the room needs both.
Authenticity
When we show up as our real selves, we give others permission to do the same. That's the heart behind the name Unfiltered AF, and we wouldn't want it any other way.
Growth
Growth doesn't happen by staying comfortable. We keep coming back because there's always more to learn, unlearn, and become.
Real talk. Real growth. Real connection.
Kelly, Deena, Krista · co-founders
It felt like home.
We started Unfiltered AF because we saw how many people were craving the same things: real conversations, genuine connection, and a place where they could simply be themselves.
In a world that often feels rushed and surface level, we wanted to create a space where people could slow down, learn something meaningful, and leave feeling seen, inspired, and a little less alone.
You can feel the care in that room. Someone new asks a vulnerable question, and the whole crowd leans in.
Deena, Kelly and Krista
The things people quietly wonder about.
Asked often enough that we would rather just answer them here.
Do I need to know someone to come?
Do I have to talk or share anything?
What if I am not doing great that day?
What is the topic?
What should I wear?
We mean this literally.
Supporting local is part of who we are. Every month we create space for local businesses, makers, community partners, and charities to connect with our audience in meaningful ways. Whether it's through a featured business, a charity spotlight, or community partnerships, we believe that when local people support one another, everyone benefits.
Featured Local Business
Each month we hand pick a local business and put them in front of the room, so people meet the person behind it rather than a logo on a screen.
Charity Spotlight
One local charity every month gets the floor to tell the room what they do, plus a portion of that night's ticket sales.
Community Partners
Businesses and organisations who want to be part of the room in a way that actually fits them. Every partnership is built to suit both sides.
Some Local Love
Every month, local businesses generously donate our door prizes. It's one more way we celebrate the people, businesses, and connections that make this community so special.
If you'd like to be part of an upcoming Unfiltered AF event, we'd love to start a conversation.

More about POM AIShow less
POM AI builds foundations. Most startups and small businesses get pushed straight into social media and paid ads before anything underneath is ready, so the traffic arrives and has nowhere to go. POM AI works the other way round: the brand, the website, the systems and the funnel first, so that when the marketing does start, everything it brings in gets caught and guided instead of leaking away.
The website is complimentary, a $20,000 build, and it is theirs whether they go on to work with POM AI or not. Every one of them ships with the backend system and an SEO growth suite wired through the whole site, because a beautiful site nobody can find is not a foundation. What people actually pay for is the AI systems: set up, managed and tracked, growing the business organically rather than renting attention. On the Growth and Scale plans that includes agents handling lead generation, lead qualification and pulling more of the right traffic in.
The thing owners notice first is the time coming back. Hours a week that used to go on follow-ups, chasing and re-entering the same information into five different tools, handed back to the person who should be running the business instead of operating it by hand.
They built the Unfiltered AF brand and this website. The planned next phase covers ticketing, intake for makers, charities and speakers, and event communication so three people can run a monthly night without doing every task by hand.
The reason they back this room is simpler than the work. They came to a night as guests. The energy was high, it was genuinely funny, and it was moving in a way that caught people off guard. You could see what it was doing for the people in it. One night was enough to know it was worth backing properly, so they did, and they intend to keep backing it as it grows.
Startups and small businesses across Canada, and into the United States when the fit is right. Based in the Edmonton area, with most of the client base Canadian. Owners wearing every hat at once, often already burned by an agency that promised results and delivered an invoice. The ones who know they need a foundation and have never been shown how to build one.
