AI Action Lab is not your typical conference. It's a hands-on, hackathon-style working session where blue-collar business teams, AI experts, MSPs, and developers come together to solve real business problems using today’s most powerful AI tools.

Over the course of one day, you’ll collaborate in cross-functional teams to turn operational challenges into practical solutions, with the guidance of tech pros and peers who understand your industry.

You should attend if:

• You have real business challenges you want to tackle, not just talk about

• You want to understand how AI can help your business cut costs, save time, reduce risk, or improve efficiency

• You want to meet other decision-makers, solution providers, and forward-thinking peers

• You want to leave with actual solutions, workflows, or next steps, not just ideas

This event is built for action. If you’re tired of panels and hype, this is the place to build something real.

We’re building a diverse room of:

• Blue-collar business owners, leaders or operators

• Industrial vendors and service providers

• AI developers and software builders

• Managed Service Providers (MSPs)

• Investors and innovation leaders

• Workforce educators and training specialists

You don’t need a technical background, just a real business problem and a willingness to explore new solutions.

Think operational, financial, logistical and sales pain points like:

• How can we reduce paperwork or admin work?

• Where can AI help us manage sales pipelines?

• Can AI help us train or onboard new workers faster?

• How do we improve safety reporting or compliance?

• Can AI help manage inventory or forecasting?

• What if we want to prototype a chatbot for field operations?

Bring your own challenge or join a team working on one that matters to you.

Yes. We’re actively seeking sponsors to take part in this high-impact, high-visibility event.

As a sponsor of AI Action Lab, you'll be positioned at the center of innovation alongside the business owners, operators, and service providers who are actively modernizing the industrial economy.

• High-visibility brand placement in front of decision-makers exploring real AI adoption

• Amplified marketing opportunities through our pre-event content, media, and LinkedIn campaigns

• Positioning as a forward-thinking partner in shaping the future of AI in traditional industries

This is more than a logo placement; it’s a chance to build relationships, identify customer needs, and be seen as a true enabler of meaningful change.
