A practical conversation about AI in Wisconsin business

From the press

The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce named Owen Jones as a panelist for the Wisconsin Technology Council’s October 15, 2026 luncheon at the WPS Powerhouse in Wausau. The announcement placed a practical question at the center of the event: how can businesses outside Wisconsin’s largest cities put emerging technology to work?

The announced panel also included Felix Gallo of Towering Clouds and Jen Nieuwenhuis Hardel of REI Engineering. Its planned focus covered AI in manufacturing, everyday operations, workforce needs and product development, along with the challenges of adoption in smaller communities.
