The keynote set the stage — now hear from the people living it. This panel brings together leaders from Nebraska higher education, financial regulation, construction, and technology to ground the AI conversation in local context.

Panelists will speak candidly about what's changing fast, what isn't, and where CTE-prepared graduates have a real competitive edge.
