CHICAGO | FEBRUARY 26, 2026

MINI-HACKATHONS FOR TAKING ACTION WITH AI

ABOUT BUILD-DAY

ABOUT THE LAB

The AI Action Lab is a working conference for real businesses that actually want to build with AI – not just talk about it. Over four hands-on, Hackathon-style sessions, vendors, consultants, and implementation teams will sit at the table with blue-collar and traditional companies to design, prototype, and test AI tools that augment workers instead of replacing them.
 

Together, we’ll walk through the four core phases of every business:
 

  • Tell people what we’ll do – marketing & outreach

  • Agree on what we’ll do – sales, scoping & contracting

  • Do it – operations, delivery & quality

  • Get paid – billing, accounting & reporting

In each phase, participants will define real problems from their own operations, work side-by-side with technologists in live build sessions (hackathon style), and pressure-test ideas against panels on safety, ethics, and responsible use. Every company leaves with prototype workflows, implementation roadmaps, and draft policy/guidance documents to support safe, human-centric AI adoption on the shop floor and in the office.

WHAT TO EXPECT

This will be a high-intensity, action-focused collection of mini-Hackathons where vendors, implementors, and specialists will show you how your problems can be solved with AI.
