Program Description
Body
Author John Wasik will discuss how and why Illinois became such a hub of innovation, from John Deere's self-scouring plow to the World's Columbian Exposition and beyond. He will invite audiences to contemplate what must be done to ensure that our state can thrive in a global economy in which automation and digital technology are increasingly prevalent.
