Innovations Summit 2026: Practical AI You Can Use… Now
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept. It’s a practical tool that businesses and organizations of every size can use right now to work smarter, serve customers better, and stay competitive.
That’s exactly why your Chamber’s Annual Innovations Summit is intentionally designed around one central question: “What can I take back and use in my organization tomorrow?”
The Innovations Summit, coming up on February 9th, at the CSIU in Montandon, will open with a keynote from Jen Gilberg of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. She will share insight into Commonwealth-level AI initiatives and where Pennsylvania is headed.
From there, the program moves quickly into a dynamic panel discussion featuring voices from higher education, technology, finance, communications, and innovation-focused organizations. Each perspective offers real-world examples and experiences on how AI is already being used across sectors.
Following lunch, attendees will dive into two rounds of focused breakout sessions, a format we’re continuing again this year by popular demand. Each breakout will be repeated so participants won’t be forced to choose between sessions or end up missing content that matters most to them. Breakout group sizes will be intentionally small, encouraging conversation, dialog, questions, and hands-on learning.
Breakout topics are built around practical application and immediate value, including:
- AI for Marketing & Customer Engagement
- AI for Small Business Operations and Back-Office Efficiency
- Cybersecurity, Data Privacy, and Responsible AI
- AI Readiness, Data, and Strategy…Where to Start and What Matters Most
You’ll also hear how AI is transforming HR, workforce development, manufacturing operations, and nonprofit impacts. Each focusing on usable tools, clear learning outcomes, real examples, and valuable takeaways.
