Smart Texas Revolution at Earth Day Texas
Smart Texas Revolution at Earth Day Texas

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) April 05, 2017 -- The Dallas Innovation Alliance (DIA), a 501c(3) Public-Private Partnership dedicated to the design and execution of a smart city strategy for Dallas, is hosting the Smart Texas Revolution at Earth Day Texas, a two-day conference April 20-21, including a first-of-its-kind expo allowing attendees to experience elements of “A Day in the Life” of a smart city. Day 2 will include a specialized workshop facilitated by the Smart Cities Council, with the ultimate goal of creating an aligned statewide strategy for a Smart Texas.

The DIA works from the definition that a smart city is one that leverages social, technological and data initiatives to create economic growth, resource efficiency, and most importantly, improves quality of life. The global smart city market is estimated to hit $1.4 trillion by 2020.

The Smart Texas Revolution will draw on best practices from cities across the country. The goal is to educate and activate cities across Texas on how to structure and execute a smart cities strategy. Speakers will hail from public, private and civic-centered leadership from cities across the country, including Austin, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, San Diego and beyond. Topics include energy, data, cybersecurity, equity, mobility, water, procurement, financing and academic partnerships.

“Through discussions with cities across Texas, it was clear that a dedicated conference focused at the state level was a core need to advancing smart city strategies for cities large and small,” stated Jennifer Sanders, Executive Director of the Dallas Innovation Alliance. “Our goal is to create an event that brings value and comprehensive information to cities in a way that is accessible both geographically and from a cost perspective. Very few states are embarking on a state level strategy, and we believe Texas is well positioned to lead.”

The Details:
Date: April 20-21, 2017
Time: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
Location: Fair Park in Dallas, Texas
