Workforce Summit
AI isn’t a future trend—it’s already changing the way we work. Join us for Elevate Rapid City’s second Workforce Summit as we take a closer look at how artificial intelligence is impacting jobs, hiring, and the policies that shape our workforce.
This half-day event will feature a keynote speaker, an expert panel, interactive tabletop discussions, and updates on local labor trends and unemployment insurance changes. You’ll walk away with insights, ideas, and real strategies to help you and your team navigate the AI shift.
