Smart City Futures

23rd Jul 2009 00:00

Smart City Futures will begin new conversations that tap into the unrealised potential of open innovation and effective collaboration between Universities, Industry and Government

A lack of transparency and a silo mentality had resulted in an environmental, political and economic meltdown.

Old models and accepted truths are becoming irrelevant and outmoded in a changing and connected world.

New challenges call for new solutions.

We believe that Universities should act as a catalyst of change and have decided to practice what we preach by trying something new

Smart City Futures will challenge traditional conference dynamics and experiment with new formats more in tune with the connected world.

Top down monologue will be replaced with non hierarchical dialogue and collaborative ideas generation.

Gone the assumptions about the communities we claim to serve, replaced by opportunities for those communities to offer their unmoderated and uncensored opinions via the live webcast.

Smart City Futures is a gathering of Global leaders from business, public service and research. We will convene to share knowledge, experience, challenges and failures and to explore collaborative solutions Smart City Futures marks the end of a full year packed with partner events.

The 23rd July will mark the beginning of an active cross sector knowledge sharing network.

We hope you will choose to join us as a founding member of that network.
