MADISON, WI. SEPT. 25, 2024 – The third annual Wisconsin Economic Summit, set for Oct. 15 and 16 in La Crosse, offers leaders in business, community development, education, and related fields a chance to learn more about how major trends in artificial intelligence (AI), entrepreneurship, and innovation are transforming Wisconsin’s economy.

“Our goal for the summit is to present a different view of the Wisconsin economy than what you would see at other conferences,” said Missy Hughes, secretary and CEO of WEDC, the state’s lead economic development agency. “We are really trying to inspire the attendees and help them understand the breadth and depth of Wisconsin’s economy, recognize the challenges ahead of us, and discover ways to work together to find innovative solutions.”

Speakers at this year’s event include:

The event’s moderator will be Kiah Calmese Walker, owner and principal of Joyistry.

Dedicated sessions will focus on innovations driving personalized medicine, AI, Wisconsin’s clean energy revolution, and other issues shaping the economic well-being of all Wisconsinites.

The first day of the summit will focus on how innovation fuels our state’s economy. Industry leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs who drive change and create new opportunities will take the stage and share cutting-edge ideas and strategies that can transform businesses of all sizes and types.

The second day of the summit will focus on how AI is revolutionizing industries ranging from medicine to manufacturing and how businesses throughout the state can leverage these new technologies.
