AI for the Individual and the Enterprise

Hosted by the Chicagoland Chamber Technology Council

The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce’s Technology Council will convene.

AI is no longer a future topic. It’s the tool on your desk and in your workflow today. Whether you’re already hands‑on with models and automation, or you’re simply AI‑curious and wondering where to start, join us for a practical, no‑jargon half‑day that bridges both worlds: how individuals can work smarter with AI, and how enterprises can scale AI for real results. We’ll open with breakfast and networking, then dive into two fast‑paced panels; one focused on personal productivity and skills, the other on enterprise value, governance, and scaling. We’ll close with a walk‑through product showcase so you can see tools in action and talk directly with solution providers.

If you’re a business or technology leader: Hear cross‑industry use cases that actually moved the needle. Learn what it takes to go from pilots to production, measure ROI, manage risk and change, and decide when to build vs. partner.

If you’re an individual contributor or manager: Learn simple ways to use AI for everyday tasks, drafting, research, scheduling, summarizing, and how to craft prompts that get better results. Pick up tips for responsible use, privacy, and avoiding bias.

If you’re evaluating tools: Explore a curated expo of AI‑powered solutions from companies with a Chicago/Midwest footprint. Get quick demos, ask hard questions, and leave with concrete next steps.
