Open Forum: Cities and the Digital Frontier

This dynamic, insightful discussion examines how cities will be transformed by digital technologies, from governance and management to citizen engagement and experience. Sensors, the Internet of things, data analytics, mobile devices, automation-all these and more will play a role. What are the economic opportunities, and how can Silicon Valley/US tech companies more fully participate? What are the challenges, and the most successful strategies in play? What significant changes are in store in 5-10 years, and who will be the winners?
