Straight A’s: How Smart Cities are Getting Smarter
Virtual Event | November 28th, 2023 | 12:00–12:35pm ET
About the event
Technologists, expert innovators, and even science-fiction dreamers have been speculating for years about the future of society. As technology enables more and more of our daily life, what did Disney’s Smart House get right, or wrong, about smarter living?
In this virtual event, we’ll talk with Emily Yates, Chief Information Officer of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) about the shifting focus in building out smart cities and how new technology can help, if it isn’t already, fulfill the needs of city residents. As the recent Smart City Director of Philadelphia, Emily comes prepared to discuss her experience in cross-sector collaboration, implementing civic engagement strategies, and how to focus on the resiliency and revitalization of communities.
