About this Event
Better Maine 2026: Working With AI is a half-day working summit for the people who employ Mainers. Not a technology showcase. Not a policy symposium. An afternoon built to send you back to work with something you can actually do.
Who it's for. Employers, HR and operations leaders, community leaders, educators, and workforce providers.
Now in its fifth year, Better Maine is hosted by the Central Maine Growth Council and Dirigo Labs in downtown Waterville. The Better Maine Conference is presented by Maine Technology Institute and Central Maine Montors, and in partnership with Live + Work in Maine and Main Street Skowhegan! Funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Space is limited to 100.
When: Thursday, November 5, 2026, 12:30 - 5:15 PM
Where: Greene Block + Studios, 18 Main Street, Waterville, and the Lockwood Hotel - a two-minute walk down Main Street
