Quantum Prairie Economic Forum
Scope: The Quantum Prairie Economic Symposium is an opportunity for Chicago-area small businesses, nonprofit organizations and municipalities to connect with experts in quantum information science and to learn how they can join the vibrant Chicago-area quantum community.
The half-day symposium will feature a keynote address, a panel on the economic and research impacts of quantum information science, and a panel on the importance of growing a quantum workforce.
As a member of a small business or nonprofit or as a representative of a Chicagoland town or county, you will have the chance to network with the quantum information science community, become familiar with the quantum activity happening in your backyard, and learn what all the quantum buzz is about.
