FEATURED PROGRAM:
This summer meeting, we’re convening Vermont CEOs for a focused, working session on how AI can translate into real advantage for businesses and the broader Vermont economy. Grounded in a pre-meeting CEO survey, the conversation will move quickly from where companies are today into practical applications, live examples, and insights from leaders already integrating AI into their operations.
From there, we’ll widen the lens to economic development and explore how AI can help address Vermont’s structural challenges and what it will take to ensure its benefits are shared across the state. Interactive breakouts will give participants space to compare approaches, test ideas, and react to bold concepts for accelerating adoption.
The goal is to identify clear, actionable steps to strengthen long-term economic growth across the state, enhance competitiveness and opportunity in rural areas, and streamline the gap between intention and outcomes of our most important systems.
