Future Forum: AI Moves from Theory to Operations
GNDCWednesday, May 13, 2026EVENT LINK
Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it’s actively reshaping how work gets done. Across industries, organizations are integrating AI into operations, analysis, customer engagement, and decision-making to improve efficiency and stay competitive in a rapidly changing environment.
At Future Forum, leaders from healthcare, law, manufacturing, and marketing will discuss how that shift is happening in real time. Sparked by a Federal Reserve roundtable hosted by GNDC, this session moves beyond headlines to focus on practical application: what companies are implementing today, how workforce expectations are changing, and where leaders see the greatest opportunities ahead.

- Susan Jarvis, COO, Sanford Fargo & North Network — overseeing operations for North Dakota’s largest healthcare provider and employer
- Dave Nelson, President, Image Printing/Knight Printing — bringing decades of experience navigating technology-driven business transformation
- Joshua Swanson, Shareholder & Attorney, Vogel Law Firm — offering perspective on legal, regulatory, and business implications tied to emerging technologies
