I am pleased to introduce The Telegraph Britain’s Smart Cities conference 2017, the premium destination for senior leaders focused on smart, digital infrastructure for cities in the UK, and an event that has continued to grow from strength to strength.

Last year the conference was a fantastic success with impressive panel sessions and keynote addresses from respected members of the smart cities community, including Sir Richard Leese, Leader of Manchester City Council; Sajid Javid, Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government; and Professor David Gann from Imperial College Business School, to name but a few.

The 2017 line-up promises to deliver even greater insights, as digital makes its mark and offers the potential to deliver more tailored services with greater cost efficiency. The latest trends in smart city innovation are not to be missed. Key areas to be covered include: What’s the new normal for smart cities? Collaboration and creating the smart city. And data analytics and meaningful insights at city level.

Thanks to interactive conference sessions, new senior speakers and semi-formalised networking, this event ensures cross pollination of ideas. Attendees will leave with the answers to their pressing business challenges, as well as inspiration for greater innovation.

This preview of our agenda announces some of our high-profile industry speakers, and shares with the industry the outline of the fantastic talks, debates, demos and breakout sessions we have planned, ensuring that, yet again, The Telegraph Britain’s Smart Cities conference will provide unrivalled content and exclusive soundbites from leading figures.

We look forward to updating you with more speakers, partners and networking events, as well as the pressing stories circling the main topics. We hope you can then join us at The Crystal on October 10, at what promises to be the best smart cities conference yet.

Very best wishes,
