Smart Cities Connect Spring Conference and Expo
May 7 @ 12:00 pm - May 10 @ 7:00 pm EDT
Overview
Smart cities have evolved from a futuristic vision into a tangible reality, creating fundamental impact for people and the planet. From pilot projects that showcase innovative technologies to enduring infrastructure investments, smart city solutions align with urban challenges.
This spring, we will delve into the critical aspects, strategies, and collaborative approaches required to foster sustainable transformations within city communities.
The conference will bring together thought leaders, urban planners, technologists, policymakers, researchers, and industry experts to discuss and dissect the multifaceted dimensions of catalyzing lasting change in urban settings.
By fostering a collaborative environment where diverse stakeholders can exchange ideas, insights, and experiences, Smart Cities Connect generates a roadmap for cities. Attendees will leave equipped with the knowledge and strategies required to steer smart cities towards sustained, meaningful transformations. Always and forever, cities attend at no cost.
Speakers
Government agencies are experiencing a significant shift in the development and adoption of digital and emerging technologies. With pressure from government leaders, many government agencies now want to own the technology used on their projects/programs and, more importantly, own the data generated by these technologies. Many organizations haven’t yet started the necessary transformation or are early in their process. Our panel of thought leaders and innovators from organizations such as yours, will discuss why their organization started their digital transformation journey, their approach, the risks of doing nothing, the challenges, securing funds, and benefits their organizations have gained from their digital transformation journey.
