The sessions were highly informative, offering deep insights into the latest advancements in smart city technology and sustainable urban development. The networking opportunities were unparalleled. I left feeling inspired and equipped with new ideas to implement in my own work. I highly recommend attending future conferences."

Jennifer Morgan, RIoT

The conference was a wonderful opportunity to connect (and re-connect) with peers, thought leaders, and diverse perspectives from the smart cities space. The panel sessions were well-curated, and I enjoyed the informal networking opportunities at the expo and offsite events."

Ryan Kurtzman, City of Long Beach, CA

We love exhibiting at the Smart Cities Connect Conference! The sessions and the exhibit hall times do not overlap. This provides us time to attend talks and to learn about technology trends and city projects. We appreciate the dedicated expo hall hours and undivided attention from attendees. We have made many meaningful connections at this show and we look forward to future events"
