Description

The conversation around AI has been exhausting and admittedly a bit much. We have decided to hold the last AI panel that you’ll need to attend in 2026. It will be an evening of thought-provoking discussion regarding AI implementation and strategies for your workplace.

Join us for a panel discussion between experienced AI users and consultants for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about navigating AI in today’s landscape. This is not the surface level scope that you can find reading articles online. This forum will have candid insights, some opposing views, and likely a few ideas that will challenge or surprise you.

Presenters:

Pat Miller

Pat Miller is the founder of the Small Business Owners Community and host of Businessing with Pat Miller, a daily live show for small business owners. He spent over 20 years in broadcasting before building his own business, and has spoken everywhere from Imaging USA to the TEDx stage on why life's too short to build someone else's dream. Pat runs his entire business on Claude, which hands him back about 20 hours a week, so he built a training called Claude Training for Small Business Owners to teach other owners how to do the same: real automation, real time back, taught by someone who actually runs a business on it instead of just talking about AI.

Sanaullah Jannisar

I, Sanaullah Jannisar, build AI systems for global manufacturers and for small businesses with a few employees, often in the same week. As an AI consultant with the Small Business AI Center, a Universities of Wisconsin initiative, I sit across the table from owners who have heard the noise and want to know what is real. The questions do not change with the size of the room, and neither does my job: find the handful of places AI earns its keep and name the many where it does not.

My work runs the whole ladder, from local libraries to small businesses to the factory floor. I lead the AI Society at UW Oshkosh, where I am a senior studying Interactive Web Management with an emphasis on Applied AI in Business. I have shipped computer vision, retrieval systems, and AI agents into production, and taught AI to rooms full of strangers in public libraries across Wisconsin. I am less interested in what AI will become than in what it can do for you on Monday.

Ryan Prellwitz

Ryan Prellwitz is the owner and founder of Vines & Rushes Winery, a family-run destination in Ripon, Wisconsin, that has thrived for 14 years.
