How innovative technologies and infrastructure planning can support the smart transformation of our cities
28 – 29 June, Rendezvous Hotel, Auckland
For the first time in New Zealand, we are excited to bring you a conference that features best practice presentations on the myriad of aspects that makes up a Smart City.
Key Challenges for Local Authorities
How New Zealand cities and regions can adapt (and are currently integrating) some of the smart city principles to solve urban challenges such as congestion; pressure caused by increasing populations; reducing the city’s carbon footprint; plan better cities and urban environments.
How Smart Are We? And How Do We Get There?
The Summit will open out asking some key questions around where we want to see our cities in 20 or 30 years’ time; what constitutes a ‘Smart City’ in the New Zealand context – followed by more practical sessions around the infrastructure and technology that needs to be in place to achieve this; such as smarter ways for councils to work, Shared Services, e-services, ICT-enabled urban transformation, water management and emergency management.
Case Studies from Near and Far
While the focus is firmly on providing the latest information available to support the work of local governments, the Summit also allows delegates the opportunity to gaze beyond our shores with international case studies by IBM and Datacraft.
Confirmed International Keynote: Amsterdam Innovation Motor will give insight into how Amsterdam is transforming the city with a multitude of innovative, green projects – and we ask how local authorities here may learn from their experiences.
