City of the Future | Feb 24-25
We had the great honor to be a part of two thoughtful and thought-provoking panels at the City of the Future event produced by ZPryme. This is an annual gathering in San Antonio that brings together some of the most interesting community leaders to talk about the current topics and trends in #smartcities.
Keynote Panel: Bringing Global Thinking to the Connected Community
Every city must leverage ideas and the strengths of its community, industries, and universities. This session will explore how different communities are building their own successful cities of the future.

About City of the Future
Technology has enabled cities and people to be more connected than ever, but that doesn’t mean cities of the future are entirely based around the tech. The engineers, developers, regulators, utilities, leaders, and stakeholders making these futures possible should design cities around the human element. CoF 2020 will explore furthering technological and systemic solutions that improve the lives of citizens while preserving the ecology of cities. Experts and leaders from tech and utility fields across the globe will bring together different perspectives and ideas over 2 days in San Antonio, TX to help build modern solutions for modern cities.
