You've probably heard the term "Smart City" thrown around quite a bit over the last few years. Sometimes it's combined with other buzzwords like Sustainability, Electrification, Autonomous, and more.

As the sole winner of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) first-ever Smart City Challenge, Columbus was awarded more than funding and designation as America’s Smart City.

David Staley will kick the morning off with a keynote to discuss what makes a city a "smart city," how that impacts you, and how you can be a part of it.
