"What does America need most to win the AI race? More electricians."
โ€” Brad Smith, President of Microsoft, U.S. Senate Hearing, May 2025

The AI revolution isn't just happening in data centers and software labs. It's happening inside buildings โ€” where HVAC systems, smart sensors, energy management platforms, and cloud intelligence are converging into a single ecosystem.

The old model trained tradespeople to do one thing well. The new model demands technicians who understand the entire power grid ecosystem โ€” how energy, data, and artificial intelligence intersect inside every structure we live and work in.

We're organizing a panel discussion at Miami Dade College to bring together HVAC companies, smart home integrators, workforce development leaders, and technology organizations to address one question:

How do we build the AI-ready trades workforce that the next decade demands?

This page is an interest gauge. Your registration helps us shape the panel, secure the right speakers, and demonstrate demand to sponsors and partners. No commitment required โ€” just a signal that you want to be part of this conversation.
