The first ever Connexin Xchange – Building Smarter Cities event will take place at the new Bonus Arena in Hull from 4pm on Thursday 4th October 2018.
Set to become one of the UK’s premier smart technology events, it will examine the importance of ‘Smarter City Operations’, ‘Smart in Health’, and ‘Smart in Education’.
The event will also explore the following topics:
Beyond the technology – how can smart cities improve quality of life for people and businesses?
Overcoming barriers – what’s holding back our cities from becoming smarter and how we can overcome these?
Working together – how can we work together to deliver smarter, connected communities?
This exclusive event will bring together experts from leading businesses, local government, universities and development organisations to make connections, explore synergies and learn from one another.
Keynote speakers will include Arvind Satyam, Global Managing Director Smart Cities at Cisco, Furqan Alamgir, CEO & Founder at Connexin as well as representatives from Hull City Council, Newcastle City Council, Northern Powerhouse and Future Cities Catapult.
The emphasis will be on smart technologies such as LoRaWAN and Internet of Things applied in the real world. Expert speakers will use demonstrations and case studies to show how smart technologies are boosting local economies and enhancing lives.
