The Smart Regions Conference will educate and align key stakeholders around available resources and addressable opportunity areas in our cities and regions. We will announce a collaborative framework for regional planning and establish Smart City Development Goals for municipal leaders.

We should call it the IoT playground... The internet of everything will be on display from autonomous vehicles and commercial drones to advanced robotics and sensor technology as enthusiasts gather to touch, feel, play with and learn about IoT and emerging innovations in our smart cities.

Startups, big co's, and research institutions will take over a dedicated area during the IoT Showcase to highlight the people and organizations behind the scenes that are developing the products and solutions building our smart cities and smart regions.

Government and business leaders from around the country will be in attendance showcasing their smart city success stories, visions, and open challenges as we workshop together to build a better future.

Awards for the day will be 3D printed in real-time by Andrew H from Lebanon, OH. The teenage prodigy printed awards for all of the guests at the Smart Cincy Summit in the Spring. Awards Categories will be announced soon.

At our spring event, government and technology leaders discussed the importance of collaboration and action. This fall we will host a keynote and featured speakers discussing connected communities, IoT tech, and smart city planning. Announcements coming soon!

Located just minutes outside of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky University's state-of-the-art BB&T Arena is the region's premier, multi-purpose facility designed specifically for hosting sporting events, large celebrations, regional events & competitions, training camps, conventions, concerts, shows and so much more.

We are excited to host local, regional, and national media outlets to cover the Smart Regions Conference, IoT Showcase, and Smart City Workshops. We will host media and special guests for dinner the evening before the main event as a special welcome and thank you.
