Bloomberg Smarter Cities conference to focus on health, sustainability and transport

On the 18 June 2015, as part of London Tech Week, Bloomberg Technology Conference: Smarter Cities will bring the heads of Europe’s smartest and greenest cities together with strategists, business leaders and policy makers to discuss how technology continues to transform and improve the way we conduct business in our cities.

With a unique focus on the intersection of health, sustainability and transport, this one-day event will focus on the importance of interconnectivity in ensuring that business, tourism and culture continue to thrive in our cities.

This event will consider:

• How the Internet of Things and the collection of vast amounts of data is changing services and citizens experiences beyond recognition
• How robots could transform the nature of work and what cities stand to lose if they don’t move fast and move smart
• Whether driverless transport is the future of getting around cities and what that means for existing transport services
• How wearable technology will disrupt existing health services and reveal the next big innovation in health tech
• How GPS mesh networks will mean the end of traffic jams – and the economic consequences of failing to invest
• How we can nurture home grown talent and businesses to ensure the next big thing comes out of London
