Intelligent Cities Forum
How can we use data to improve our cities?
WHAT
On June 6, 2011, the National Building Museum convenes a one-day forum with experts from across the country to explore the evolving, deep-rooted connections between technology and ever expanding cities — from education and energy to government, public health, and transportation. Join as experts – planners, policy makers, tech professionals, academics – share ideas about using technology to make cities better places to live and work. Network with the practitioners and visionaries who are using technology to make cities more livable, sustainable, and efficient.
