KATIE MUIR ON SEPTEMBER 12, 2018
The first ever Connexin Live – Building Smarter Cities technology conference will take place at the new Bonus Arena in Hull from 4pm on Thursday October 4, 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’.
Our smart tech 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 challenges?
· Working together – how can we work together to deliver smarter, connected communities?
Bringing together business leaders and local government decision-makers
Our inaugural technology conference will bring together experts from leading businesses, local government, universities, and development organisations to make connections, explore synergies, and learn from one another.
