Engage with civic leaders, researchers, designers and developers in a one-day workshop on civic technology and smart cities. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together civic leaders, researchers, designers, and developers interested in the field of civic technologies, smart cities, and green information to enhance civic engagement, sustainability, and energy awareness.

Advances in information technology present new opportunities for enhancing and building smarter cities that better engage informed citizens, and utilize resources in a smarter and more sustainable manner.  Developing useful technologies to solve urban problems requires understanding management and operational issues from the perspective of civic leaders, and leveraging a range of IT approaches to work towards solutions.

There will be paper presentations, tutorials, and panels on current technologies, methodologies, and case studies, a poster session to showcase recent projects, plus brainstorming/planning sessions for follow-up initiatives.

Look forward to see you there!
