SUMMARY:Smart Cities 101
DESCRIPTION:A city isn't smart simply because of the technology it deploys. It's smart because of what that technology enables people and communities to do.\nSmart Cities 101 explores how aligning community priorities\, technology\, entrepreneurship\, and capital can transform municipal challenges into economic opportunities.\nJoin Kasheef Wyzard\, National Director of Economic Opportunity at Dream.Org\; Jordan Taylor\, CEO of SynergyGrid\; and Dr. Reginald Parker\, CEO and Founder of Green Power Ventures—pioneers of the Smart Cities Alliance—as they introduce a practical framework for building smarter cities that create jobs\, attract investment\, strengthen local economies\, and expand community ownership.\nBecause building smarter cities isn't just about adopting technology. It's about organizing the people\, partnerships\, and resources needed to move from conversations to deployable projects—and ensuring communities share in the value created.\n\nSession ID: d2c8ffe5-fbe9-4ffd-93de-a6d4c5eb5128\n\nhttps://afrotechconference.com/schedule#session-d2c8ffe5-fbe9-4ffd-93de-a6d4c5eb5128
