The event featured dealer-focused educational and interactive sessions on the challenges, benefits and best practices for implementing AI at the dealership. Rob Saik, founder and CEO of Vi by visorPRO, says the idea for the event came about during a discussion with Brion Torgerson from Torgerson\u2019s Equipment in Great Falls, Mont.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n    \u201cAt the Precision Farming Dealer Summit in St. Louis in January, I was on stage and we talked about having an AI academy for dealerships,\u201d Saik says. \u201cIt was in Montana when I was talking about AI and visorPRO at one of the dealerships, Brion Torgerson came up to me and said, \u2018We need more than using visorPRO, we also need to think about AI integration.\u2019 And that was the genesis of the idea. So, we took that idea and decided to move forward with a very select and small group of dealers to talk about AI leadership inside of dealerships, what they&#8217;re doing, how they&#8217;re implementing it, where the gaps are, where do they want to go. And so that&#8217;s why we invited people from Texas and Saskatchewan and Kentucky and Pennsylvania and Indiana and Ohio here to talk about that at the dealership level.\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n    \u201cOne of the things we shared this morning is of course the industry is undergoing constraints right now. And so how do we use technology to level up our people, do more with less, do more faster? AI is capable of doing that. And to think about AI as an operating system for the dealership with pipelines coming in to the operating system and output depending on what department, whether it&#8217;s aftermarket sales, whether it&#8217;s finance or admin, like what do you want coming out of AI? And it really is not so much an AI discussion as it&#8217;s a data discussion.\u201d\n  <\/p>\n<p>\n  Saik also offered some words of advice for dealers interested in implementing&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.precisionfarmingdealer.com\/articles\/7171-technology-corner-dealers-gather-for-inaugural-ai-workshop-and-networking-event\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Technology Corner] Dealers Gather for Inaugural AI Workshop &#038; Networking Event https:\/\/www.precisionfarmingdealer.com\/articles\/7171-technology-corner-dealers-gather-for-inaugural-ai-workshop-and-networking-event Publish Date: 2026-06-19&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":276245,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.precisionfarmingdealer.com\/ext\/resources\/2026\/06\/19\/Dealers-Gather-for-Inaugural-AI-Workshop--Networking-Event.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-276243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276243"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=276243"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276243\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":276247,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/276243\/revisions\/276247"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/276245"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=276243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=276243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=276243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
