CHICAGO - TelAve -- Vault Innovation Group, a Chicago-based digital solutions agency, today announced its premier sponsorship of AI Action Lab, a hands-on, hackathon-style event designed to help traditional businesses explore practical AI implementation. The event will take place on February 26, 2026, from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the Wintrust Grand Banking Hall in Chicago.

AI Action Lab brings together business leaders, operators, AI developers, and managed service providers for a day of collaborative problem-solving focused on real operational challenges. Rather than traditional conference panels, the event features four interactive "micro-hack" sessions where participants work directly with technology experts to prototype AI solutions for marketing, sales, operations, and administrative workflows.

"Too many businesses are overwhelmed by AI hype without understanding how to actually integrate it into their operations," said Jeffrey Dirrenberger, CEO of VAULT. "AI Action Lab represents exactly the kind of practical, roll-up-your-sleeves approach we believe in. We're excited to connect with business leaders who are ready to move beyond theory and start building solutions that deliver measurable results."

VAULT specializes in helping small to medium-sized businesses integrate AI strategically through custom software development, digital products, and scalable platforms. The company's approach focuses on shipping functional solutions rather than extended pilot programs, making them a natural fit for the action-oriented format of AI Action Lab.

The event is presented by morriganAI and targets industries including construction, manufacturing, logistics, trucking, rail, aerospace, and warehousing. Attendees will leave with prototype workflows, implementation roadmaps, and practical guidance for responsible AI adoption.

"AI Action Lab is built for the people who run businesses day-to-day and need solutions that work on Monday morning," added Dirrenberger. "This is about transforming operational challenges into competitive advantages with AI tools you can actually use."

As a premier sponsor, VAULT will participate in the collaborative build sessions and provide strategic guidance to attendees throughout the day. The company will also be available for one-on-one consultations during the networking sessions.
