Friday, July 17, 2026 | Time: 7:00 am - 9:00 am 

Location: The Wisconsin Club, 900 W. Wisconsin Ave. Milwaukee


Building the AI Workforce: WCTC’s Vision for Wisconsin and the Midwest

IBAW is pleased to announce that Rich Barnhouse, President & CEO and Laura Krohn, Chief of Staff will be our speakers at our monthly meeting on July 17, 2026.

WCTC is advancing a comprehensive, applied approach to artificial intelligence that is grounded in real-world industry needs, strong partnerships, and clear workforce pathways across Wisconsin and the Midwest. WCTC’s strategy was intentionally designed to cut through misconceptions, demonstrating that AI is not a job replacer but a job creator that augments human capability and drives demand for new, higher-skilled roles. Unlike media narratives, WCTC’s work reflects the practical reality: AI adoption in manufacturing and other industries is pragmatic, workforce-centered, and essential to regional economic competitiveness.

Featured Speakers:

  • Rich Barnhouse, President & CEO, WCTC
  • Laura Krohn, Chief of Staff, WCTC


Advanced registration and payment is required.
