Four Imperatives We'll Tackle Together

Through keynotes, panels, and breakout discussions, we’ll focus on four critical areas shaping Indiana’s AI future:

  1. Data Readiness as a Competitive Advantage

    What leaders must fix before automation, analytics, or AI can deliver ROI.

  2. Building the Workforce AI Can’t Replace

    Skills, work-based learning, and continuous reskilling strategies that align education and employers.

  3. Innovating Through Acquisition

    How to think about partnerships, platforms, and buy-vs-build decisions in an AI-driven market.

  4. Powering the AI Economy

    Energy, water, and digital infrastructure readiness—and why it matters more than most realize.

A cross-sector panel and breakout groups will follow, bringing voices from each pillar together to connect strategy to action.
