This is the big event to go to in the country. It gives cities the chance to collaborate with one another about what they're doing and how they're doing it. This includes private sector and educational institutions not just across the US, but globally. It's a great place to take that knowledge and create next steps for our communities."

Carlos Tamayo, Innovation Manager, City of Colorado Springs, CO

I loved the opportunity to meet city leaders in roles like my own. This created a fast track to connections, mentors, and peer support. I can't wait to setup followup meetings and continue the learning process."

Rachel Stark, Smart Cities Program Manager, City of Charlotte, NC

I came to Smart Cities Connect Conference to find out what's important to cities, what projects they're interested in, and to connect. I've gotten great feedback from the industry at large"

Jessica Heinzelman, CEO, Throne Labs
