Individuals need opportunities for formal instruction across their lifespan. The three-phase life of education, work, and retirement is no longer a reality for a growing cross-section of people around the world. Likewise, the kinds of education and training are also diversifying, expanding beyond disciplinary degrees and embracing a wider array of credentialing formats, from nano-degrees, to micro-credentials, to certificates all of which may or may not be credit-bearing.
ASU University City Exchange (UCX) will host a roundtable discussion on the definitions of the “smart city” including the both intelligent policy making and the judicious application of new of technologies. Special attention will be paid to outcomes, whether intended or otherwise, especially in the promotion of efficiency, equity, and even, democracy.
US Ignite is accelerating the smart city movement – and creating value for an entire ecosystem – by guiding communities into the connected future, creating a path for private sector growth, and advancing technology research that’s at the heart of smart city development. We are holding our Fall Board Meeting in Phoenix on November 14, 2019.

Where can I find research on a particular supplier? Gartner.com has vendor ratings and access to the Magic Quadrants that show the leading suppliers in a particular market segment.
Is a supplier allowed to perform a proof of concept (POC) during an RFP? A POC is not possible with any one particular supplier, while an RFP is in process. However, you can make a POC a part of the final RFP, as long as you are giving every supplier a chance to prove their concept. Please consider this could take a lot of internal bandwidth.
Can pilots be included into the RFP process? A pilot can be included into the RFP process once the supplier has been selected.
When a supplier sends in a question during an RFP who is responsible for answering it? The committee chair is responsible for answering the proposer's questions received during the RFP. It is the chair's responsibility to distribute questions and get the answers completed. If a question is Procurement related, the Buyer may choose to answer the question themselves, instead of waiting for the delegation process. Please use the supplier questions template to keep questions organized.
