Bringing digital equity to the forefront
Digital Immersive Event | Hosted via Zoom
The annual Smart Region Summit, convened by ASU and a diversity of partners, focuses on the application of new human and technological innovation strategies that put into action the concept of the “smart city and region.”
Smart cities and regions leverage technology to share vital information with the public, make data-informed local improvements, increase efficiency and optimize infrastructure and resources to meet community needs. Indeed, smart technology has the potential to bolster equity across a region by expanding the reach and creative uses of services and tools -- like high-speed broadband and 5G.
During this year's day-long, virtual event, our partner network will focus on the intersection of smart regions and digital inclusion with the goal of showcasing and designing, as a community, projects and work that bridges the digital divide. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore the latest developments in smart technologies and connect with experts and next-generation leaders in the field.
Together, let's create more efficient places and spaces across Arizona and beyond that are optimized for all individuals.
Hear from local and international technology leaders, researchers, faculty, students and changemakers who are prioritizing digital equity in their everyday lives.
Through dynamic plenary sessions, informative roundtable discussions and more, subject matter experts will share how they are generating community technology solutions that advance digital equity and infrastructure.
Gain insights and explore how others are working to expand access in Arizona and around the globe to better inform your work. You’ll leave the Summit better prepared to take action.
