Midwest Summit: Technology - August 2025

August 14, 2025 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM (CDT)

Description


The Midwest Technology Summit is where decision-makers across the region gather to confront the reality of today’s tech and its massive implications for business. 

This year’s focus is Artificial Intelligence and Data Infrastructure. These topics are the driving forces of seismic shifts in how we work, secure information and grow. AI is no longer experimental. It’s transforming talent pipelines, redefining productivity, accelerating decision-making and introducing new layers of cybersecurity risk and operational complexity that demand immediate attention. 

The Summit will also zero in on the surging growth of data centers across the Midwest, a movement reshaping our regional economy. It brings a ripple effect of public policy considerations, energy demands, infrastructure challenges and economic impact tied to these projects. Experts will discuss the intersection of technology infrastructure and regional development, equipping attendees with the knowledge to understand and influence these major initiatives.

This Summit goes beyond theory. It’s designed for executives and changemakers who need to anticipate disruption, influence infrastructure investment, and make informed decisions now. Attendees will hear from national experts, industry leaders and local trailblazers across key sectors including healthcare, retail, energy, and agriculture. Sessions will cover: 

  • AI implementation across business operations 
  • Cybersecurity vulnerabilities and response strategies 
  • Workforce transformation and future-ready talent development 
  • The energy, zoning and policy puzzle behind the data center surge 
  • Tech education and the talent pipeline challenge 

The Midwest Technology Summit is not a conversation. It’s a call to action. Those ready to lead through change, rather than react to it, belong in the room.
