Join us May 13-15 at Pier 36 in NYC for Smart Cities New York 2019! SCNY19 is North America’s leading global conference for innovators and decision-makers who are improving life in the cities of tomorrow. Based on the core principle that cities are Powered by People, SCNY19 will be guided by the theme “The Future Is Now.” With so many cities, large and small, pursuing bold new ideas, this is your chance to engage with leaders and bring home practical solutions to your city’s challenges.
The event brings together top thought leaders and senior members of the private and public sector to work on investments in physical and digital infrastructure, health, education, sustainability, security, mobility, workforce development, and more, to ensure cities are central to advancing and improving urban life. SCNY is different from other conferences—we build a collaborative environment where the best and brightest can work together to not only share solutions and ideas, but learn how to implement them in their home cities.
Smart Cities New York will also explore the ways cities are revolutionizing civic life in such areas as physical and digital infrastructure, health, education, sustainability, security, mobility, workforce development, and more.
Building on the success of the past two years of Smart Cities New York events, SCNY 2019 will be structured around the theme, “The Future Is Now.”
Over the course of 3 days of workshops, panel discussions, keynote speakers, and interactive demonstrations, SCNY 2019 will explore different topics related to civic life, such as:
The Future of Mobility
Innovation, Talent, and Economic Growth
Civic Engagement and Governance
Infrastructure for the Modern Day
Sustainable, Circular, and Clean Energy Economies
Transformative Technologies
