Feedback from previous attendees

ATTENDEE TESTIMONIAL

“I’ve worked with many state governments throughout my career. The [State] Suppliers Expo is the only event I’ve attended where senior executives, and even cabinet members, make themselves available for suppliers to talk with them about their business. The Expo format, having agencies setting up tables in the exhibit hall, is a great idea and a great way to allow the suppliers to meet and talk with the agencies that may have a need for their products or services.”

“I came into this course knowing very little about AI technology and this course provided me with a really solid foundation. I am looking forward to utilizing AI tools to help me with upcoming projects for work, as well as in my personal life. I highly recommend this course if you are interested in learning about how AI can help you with a variety of work tasks.”

ATTENDEE TESTIMONIAL

"I have a very small promotional budget, [and the State Suppliers Expo] gives me a chance to promote myself to many agencies at once, without a large cost. This is a free event for you to bring your game-face, visit several state agencies in the same room, and promote yourself all in one day!"

“This is an excellent non-technical introduction to help anyone get started with using AI in the workplace. The instructors presented the content in a very approachable way.”

ATTENDEE TESTIMONIAL

"The State Suppliers Expo allows vendors to interact with the state’s [line of business] users in a way that may be not be possible in a traditional setting. It allows us to IDEATE with the departments in a one-to-many setting. This approach saves the state’s LOB leaders hours of potential IDEATION meetings, and it helps vendors understand the true priorities of departments and where they can help."

“I feel that the course did a great job explaining AI - from development through application. I also appreciated the varying perspectives presented, which were helpful in understanding how AI can be used responsibly as a tool in my profession, rather than simply as a novelty.”
