Talent Acquisition leaders and practitioners from across the Milwaukee area are invited to gather for an afternoon of connection, conversation, and shared learning.
Instead of a formal speaker, this session will be focused on facilitated roundtable discussions centered on the topics that matter most to you right now, whether that’s hiring manager alignment, AI in recruiting, market shifts, employer branding, candidate experience, compensation challenges, or anything else top of mind.
When you grab your ticket, you’ll have the opportunity to submit a topic you’d like to discuss. The most popular themes will shape our roundtable conversations for the afternoon.
Expect:

Real talk about today’s hiring landscape
Practical insights from fellow TA peers
Plenty of time to connect and network

Whether you’re leading a team or are hands-on in the trenches, this meetup is designed to help you walk away with new ideas and new relationships.

Stop Prompting and Start Coding with Your Own AI Dev Team with Squad | 05/12/2026
2026-05-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Novus Home Mortgage, 20225 Water Tower Blvd Suite 400, Brookfield, WI, 53045
May 12, 2026
New Resources Consulting is proud to sponsor Wisconsin .Net User Group’s next meeting.
Most developers are still treating AI coding agents like an order taker — one prompt, one response, one task at a time.
Squad changes that. It’s an open-source framework that gives you a coordinated AI development team — a lead, a frontend dev, a backend dev, a tester — living directly in your repository as plain files. Need a DBA? A security reviewer? Hire the AI team member built for the job. They share decisions, learn your codebase, and work in parallel.
You’ll see:

How Squad agents are wired together and why they don’t step on each other
The plan-first workflow that keeps you in control without slowing things down
Directives — standing rules you say once and the team follows forever
What happens when you hand off a complex feature and just watch

Speaker: Jason Von Ruden is the President of the Wisconsin .NET User Group and who uses AI-assisted development workflows daily on production projects. Lately, he brings real-world experience integrating AI agents into enterprise codebases.

What if your AI assistant felt truly yours—private, deeply personalized, and seamlessly integrated into your real daily workflow?
In this talk, NRC’s Cameron Vetter will introduce Emily v4, the latest version of his personal AI assistant, rebuilt on the OpenClaw platform.
He’ll begin with the history of Emily v1 through v3—sharing the wins, lessons, and pivotal changes that led here. Then, Cameron will break down OpenClaw’s architecture, its modular design, and the philosophy behind building personal-scale AI.
The rest of the talk will focus on live demos showing exactly how he uses Emily every single day for research, task automation, and real-time decision support—with a look under the hood.

Milwaukee SPIN: Agile Didn’t Fail. Your Transformation Did. | 05/19/2026
2026-05-19 17:30 - 19:45 | Novus Home Mortgage, 20225 Water Tower Blvd Suite 400, Brookfield, WI, 53045
May 19, 2026
Demand for adaptability, speed, alignment, and execution has never been higher, yet many organizations cannot improve because they incorrectly believe they have already changed.
They adopted Agile terminology. Added ceremonies. Did NOT reorganize teams. Hired coaches. Ran transformations. But underneath the surface, the system of work remained the same.
In this talk, Jeff Bubolz and Chad Beier explore the hidden organizational patterns that prevent real agility: ego, fear, local optimization, and the illusion of change itself.
Schedule:
5:30 PM: Hors d’Oeuvres & Networking
6:15 PM: Announcements, Election, & Presentation

This talk will dive deep into the real-world security implications of over-autonomous agents through OpenClaw as a case study. We’ll cover:

How broad permissions (shell access, file I/O, network operations, persistent memory) create pathways for devastating attacks, including skill-based malware delivery, data exfiltration, and persistence mechanisms.
Emergent “wild” behaviors: rogue agent-to-agent interactions on Moltbook, self-propagating malicious prompts, and unexpected social/economic patterns among swarms of agents.
Core vulnerabilities such as direct/indirect prompt injection, memory poisoning, and insecure tool invocation.

August 12 & 13, 2026
Join Cameron Vetter, NRC’s AI Practice Director, at Data-Driven Wisconsin 2026, where he will be presenting “6 Years Later: Our AI Is Still Kicking — And Here’s the Messy Reality.”
What happens when an AI project survives the hype cycle, funding shifts, team turnover, model drift, and six full years of production? Spoiler: it doesn’t look anything like the demos from year one.
In this talk, I’ll share the unfiltered story of a long-running AI initiative at one of my clients, an effort that started as a promising idea in manufacturing and has quietly become a core part of daily operations. Over six years, we’ve retrained models a ton of times, switched models, battled bad data, outlasted CI/CD pipelines, and learned to measure ROI not in flashy metrics but in sustained, compounding business value—by enabling business scale.
Expect candid war stories: the tools and architectures that aged gracefully (and the ones we had to euthanize), the technology shifts we needed to keep up with, and the small but critical tweaks that turned “it works… mostly” into “it just works.”
This isn’t a fairy tale of effortless AI magic—it’s the messy, human, practical reality of making AI stick around and deliver for years. If you’re tired of one-and-done pilots and want to build something that lasts, let’s have some real talk.
