description nil Speaker panel: "A Jetsons or Bladerunner future for our metropolitan areas - are we on the brink of a technology sea-change for Smart Cities?" Stan Curtis (Urban.Systems), Kevin Martin (City of Portland), Kristin Tufte (PSU), Dave Pelkey (Azimith Communications)
, Moderator: Bud Borja (CGI). The idea of Smart Cities has been around for a while. It encapsulates how technology is going to transform the way we interact with City government & infrastructure, local businesses and our communities. It is very exciting to consider all the transformational possibilities when cities are digitally enabled, as well as the impact of emerging technology such as self-driving cars on the City administrative model and the local economy. But what are the barriers to realizing this future? Which cities are having successes and which are having failures? How about our own City of Portland and other cities in the metropolitan area? 
Join us for the SIM Portland April 2018 meeting when we will review what is happening with IT and Smart Cities. We will have a panel of thought leaders speaking on NextGen wired and wireless network, Internet of Things (IoT) and sensors, autonomous vehicles, as well as big data & visualization. Come learn what new opportunities and challenges are here today and on the horizon. 

 Key topics that will be explored include,
 • Review of Smart Cities planning and strategies to date. • Major technology areas being tackled by Smart Cities groups and collaborations. • Examples of Smart Cities projects successes and failures. • What does this all mean to IT leadership? What should IT infrastructure be prepared for? Agenda 5:30 PM Social 6:30 PM Dinner 6:50 PM Meeting Start 7:00 PM Keynote and Q&A 8:15 PM Close
