The AI Tools Are Ready. Most Workflows Aren’t. The sharpest tool in the shed is useless if no one knows how to swing it. APR 30 | Drop in anytime 4:00–6:00 PM CT | Waukegan Public Library

The biggest AI opportunity for most companies isn’t building models — it’s finding practical ways to use AI in the work we already do. It’s learning how to apply AI inside real workflows — operations, supply chain, logistics, and everyday decisions. Most small and mid-sized manufacturers don’t have AI teams or big budgets. What they need is practical insight from peers exploring where AI can improve productivity and how teams work.
Manufacturing leaders reviewing operational data on a tablet in a warehouse environment, representing practical AI, supply chain visibility, and data-driven decision making for SME manufacturers.
Join a small group of local manufacturing leaders for a peer exchange focused on practical AI use in real business processes.

The Business Question We’re Exploring:

  • Many small and mid-sized manufacturers are asking:“On a limited budget, how do we find people who can bring AI into what we do and increase our capability?”

Who Should Attend:

  • Owners, operations leaders, supply chain leaders, and HR/talent leaders from SME manufacturing companies exploring practical AI adoption.

Why You Should Come:

  • Future-Proof Your Workforce: Start translating AI potential into tangible team capabilities that drive business growth.
Secure your spot for this live exchange and learn how other manufacturers are starting to use AI in practical ways.
