Join the Niagara Industrial Association on Wednesday, October 21 for a one-hour recorded webinar featuring Steve Walters, owner of Wallai. Discover how artificial intelligence is moving from concept to practical application on the manufacturing floor. This webinar will explore how manufacturers can use AI to improve operations, streamline processes, support decision-making, and identify new opportunities for efficiency and growth. In today&#39;s manufacturing landscape, AI can quickly have a bottom line impact and mitigate external market disruptions. Join us for a practical look at where AI is making an impact today and how manufacturers can begin integrating these technologies into their own operations. Bring your questions! Our moderated conversation will share insider insights AND leave plenty of time for live Q&amp;A to help your business stay competitive and seize new opportunities.&nbsp;<p fr-original-style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;color:rgb(36, 36, 36);font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;box-sizing:inherit;line-height:1.5;" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;"> Date: October 21, 2026Time: 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm&nbsp;Location: Virtual <p fr-original-style="margin:0cm;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;color:rgb(36, 36, 36);font-style:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:center;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;box-sizing:inherit;line-height:1.5;" style="margin: 0cm; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; color: rgb(36, 36, 36); font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.5; width: 100%;">Presented in Partnership with:<p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);text-align:center;line-height:1.5;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;"><img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1790103754/wysiwyg/nkblwvkufqomq5yoglpb.png" style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 600px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"><p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);text-align:center;line-height:1.5;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;"> <p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);text-align:center;line-height:1.5;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;">Presenter: <img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1790275673/wysiwyg/qmtllshmpqvrair9r7f4.jpg" style="width: 210px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-style="width: 210px; display: block; vertical-align: top; margin: 5px auto; text-align: center;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable"><p fr-original-style="width:100%;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;box-sizing:inherit;color:rgb(15, 14, 91);text-align:center;line-height:1.5;" style="width: 100%; margin: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: rgb(15, 14, 91); text-align: center; line-height: 1.5;">Steve Walters, Wallai Steve Walters grew up in Niagara-on-the-Lake, spent his first 27 years in the region, and worked in a local manufacturer&#39;s warehouse as a teenager.
