Dear Smart District Leaders, Members, and Neighborhood Service Providers:
Please join us for the second annual NYC Smart Districts Summit, where community and technology leaders will collaboratively explore how emerging technologies are being leveraged to address the most pressing district-level challenges. An evening of discovery, for technology leaders to interact with district stakeholders and learn about how Business Improvement Districts (BIDs), Community-based Development Organizations (CBDOs), and other organizations are applying innovative technologies and solutions.
The main goals of the evening include spreading awareness of common challenges and best practices across district-level organizations, identifying opportunities for collaboration between technology providers and districts, and establishing new partnerships.Â
This year, join us for a discussion about how neighborhoods are confronting the need to retrofit; integrating new technology and infrastructure into their existing environments in order to keep up with today’s high expectations for quality of life in cities.
