As North America's foremost conference, exposition, and accelerator of smart city innovation, this event promises unparalleled networking and educational opportunities.
In exploring the evolution of smart cities, it becomes evident that technology alone is not the sole driver. Instead, the fusion of digital solutions with community engagement and equitable practices defines the trajectory toward a more livable future. This shared goal of creating livable cities, which we are all a part of, is now shifting towards prioritizing equity.
While intelligent technologies offer myriad benefits, such as increased civic engagement and trust in city officials, recent reassessments underscore the importance of addressing emerging inequities. This narrative highlights the transformative power of integrating technology, community collaboration, and equity-driven strategies to shape not only technologically advanced but also inclusive and equitable cities.
