Panelists include Milo Martin, engineering director at Google’s Madison office; and Irina Otto, chief technology officer, AI and private capital for Microsoft.

“Most people think of the state of Washington and California when they think of Microsoft or Google, and that’s true – but those global firms see compelling reasons to put down roots in Wisconsin, as well,” said Tom Still, president of the Wisconsin Technology Council. “We’ll hear about their projects and plans and why they see Wisconsin as a good fit.”
