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

It was a pleasure to be a part of and to help host Smart City Connect in Raleigh. We are proud to have helped hold one of the most attended events yet. For me, the opportunity to meet more colleagues and vendors from around the world was most rewarding—Smart Cities Connect makes it "comfortable" to share ideas, new technologies, and learn from one another."

John Holden, Smart City Manager, City of Raleigh, NC

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. Additionally, this conference is an amazing opportunity for my team to engage with municipalities and city leadership. The conference offers panel discussions, a keynote program, workshops, networking events, and thoughtful technology tours of local cities. We have made many meaningful connections at this show and we look forward to future events!"

Karoline Pershell, Service Robotics & Technologies, Inc.
