Dynaimix AI leads a State of AI workshop for electrical contractor executives at the Little America Hotel.
On July 17, 2026, a peer group of roughly a dozen executives from electrical contracting companies across the country gathered in Cheyenne, Wyoming for a one-day State of AI overview and workshop led by Dynaimix AI trainer Dan Callahan. The meeting was hosted by John Braunschweig of W.G. Dale Electric at the Little America Hotel, part of a recurring peer group that meets multiple times a year to collaborate on business topics affecting their firms.
This session was dedicated entirely to AI.
The group that came to Cheyenne represented a range of experience levels. Some attendees have been actively working with AI tools for some time and are now focused on the harder problem of driving adoption throughout their organizations. Others have employees using AI in their personal lives but have not yet found a clear path to making it useful in the context of real work. That range made for a substantive conversation, with experienced users and earlier-stage firms working through the same questions from different starting points.
The discussions covered significant ground. AI governance was a central topic, specifically how firms should be thinking about policies, boundaries, and accountability as AI becomes more embedded in daily operations. Security and privacy concerns came up directly, with the group working through how to use AI tools safely and effectively without exposing sensitive company or client information. The session also addressed the practical question of tool selection, weighing ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and other platforms against each firm’s existing workflows and technology environment.
One of the more forward-looking conversations centered on agentic AI. Dan walked the group through ChatGPT Work and Copilot Cowork, both of which allow users to connect AI to external tools and begin automating multi-step workflows. For a room full of executives thinking about where AI goes next inside their companies, that was a natural and timely direction to take the conversation.
The peer group format added something that a standard training session does not always have: the ability to hear how firms at different stages of adoption are navigating the same challenges. That kind of candid, peer-level exchange tends to surface the questions that matter most, and this group had plenty of them.
