Conference 2 of Smart Cities 2021

11 May — Digital Connectivity

Conference two explored digital connectivity, the backbone of modern life.

We’ll explore the networks that connect us professionally, socially and technologically; and look at the work we need to do to keep these secure, efficient and fit-for-future purposes.

We’ll also explore the digital divide, and consider how we can close the gap between the haves and have nots.
