Looking forward to speaking at the @SmartCityMIA - SUSTAINABLE is the NEW SMART event on December 13. I will show how our innovative approach called “Question Storming” can help you reimagine a different future for your city. (1/3)
We focus on “Rebuilding Trust” to demonstrate the power of understanding what is at stake for urban spaces worldwide.
I have the honor to introduce Ron Blatman, my friend and colleague, dedicated to telling the story of how cities are evolving and learning every day. (2/3)
And most importantly, Ron’s “@SavingtheCityTV” documentary will help you learn how city failures and successes can guide your next steps. (3/3)
3. Smart city standards are essential to improving city operations. With greater efficiency, urban leaders will agree to universal standards for technology, health and safety.
Heartfelt thanks to my dear friend, @CJAoun at NVIDIA for inviting me to lead a provocative discussion on, “How Women are Transforming the Approach to AI in Smart Spaces.”
The stellar panelists, @RuthbeaClarke, Meredith Hodgman, @jensanders212, Johanna Thorn, and Geertje de Lange gave us a valuable perspective on their journey in the tech world and the need to mobilize the gender balance in our hiring and decision making.
Special shout out to @jonathanselbie (@univrses) and @AlfredLindberg for seeking innovative ways to recruit more women into tech.
Please join us Smart City Expo World Congress. Many thanks to Dell (Porter Graham) and NVIDIA (Charbel Aoun). Stay tuned for an industry-leading panel of women technologists and a thought-provoking conversation, “How Women are Transforming the Approach to AI in Smart Spaces"!

Congratulations to the top 10 finalists of this year’s QBE Insurance #AcceliCITY competition.
I am excited to lead a “Question Storming” session on Rebuilding Trust at the Finalists’ Bootcamp tomorrow at 11:30 AM ET. (1/3)
This unique experience enables every participant to “see” the difficult question, “How can we rebuild trust?” through the lens of others—it opens hearts and minds to thinking differently and discovering never before thought of solutions. (2/3)
Thank you Michael Lake and @LeadingCities — I am honored to be a mentor to some of the best and brightest entrepreneurs on the planet!! (3/3)
Our global climate emergency is sparking exciting technology innovation!
I was pleased to host a panel at the Wharton Innovation Summit in Washington on June 14 demonstrating our collective responsiveness.
I asked the question, "How can we decarbonize?”
San Francisco passed a law prohibiting fossil gas infrastructure in new residences starting June 2021.
The city plans to use only renewable power by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2050.
Krystal Noiseux, Associate Director of the Climate Pathways Project @MITSloanSusty, demonstrated En-ROADS, an interactive software tool that enables users to assess effects of different climate variables on climate outcomes.
A very cool, eye-opening measurement & free to explore
