"The Heartland AI Symposium is a three-day, statewide, interdisciplinary event that brings together students, faculty, educators, industry professionals and community members to explore how artificial intelligence is shaping education, agriculture, business, creativity and everyday life.
Through engaging keynote talks, hands-on workshops, live demonstrations and community town halls, participants learn how to use AI tools responsibly while examining their ethical, social and environmental impacts. The symposium welcomes beginners and experienced users alike, creating an open space for learning, discussion and collaboration across disciplines such as the humanities, computer science, agriculture and library sciences."
