Smart Places & Communities

Harnessing tech and data for smarter cities, places and communities

Smart cities and rural places are evolving at pace as authorities harness real time data and ever improving connectivity to improve both their citizens lives and the environment. From smart mobility and travel systems to smart bins, air quality and road sensors, foundations are being laid across the country involving 5G, LoRaWAN and public WiFi. Councils are also building on the digital confidence gained across communities during covid.  

This virtual conference explores how digital technologies and data can empower communities to connect and communicate as they build a smart future together. It will bring together public sector leaders to share examples of what can be achieved with the opportunity for discussion and Q&A sessions too.
