An elite group of leaders in cities, buildings and technology will convene at VERGE Salon New York: Next-Gen Buildings and Cities on September 16. The object of this conference will be to examine the latest approaches to making buildings and cities healthier, more responsive, efficient and resilient.

VERGE Salon will explore the opportunities being unlocked by the convergence of data streams, smart grids, intelligent building systems and more— fostering a dialogue of crucial ideas for shaping tomorrow’s buildings and cites. In addition to the boundless promise that new technologies and practices offer, this conference will examine the inherent costs, challenges and prospects posed by a major paradigm shift. Speakers and panelists will be featured from the White House, the Rockefeller Foundation, Microsoft Corporation, and IBM. In addition, distinguished leaders from state and local government will share their experiences with implementing and managing the tectonic shifts in urban networks that are already underway. If you are seeking to understand the trends and technologies transforming the future of our buildings and cities, you need to attend this event.

Among the topics to be covered:

• Green infrastructure, technologies and grid solutions that create value for buildings and cities.

• Leveraging data to accelerate greenhouse gas reductions and water efficiency.

• Maximizing the economic value of smart buildings on cities.

• Understanding the costs and challenges associated with significant change.
