Did you know that the city of Columbus was recently named the 2015 Intelligent Community of the Year? Cleveland is not far behind, but we need your help!
Please join OneCommunity for a breakfast conversation about Cleveland’s many great assets and how they can drive our region to the top of the Intelligent Communities list! This event will focus on the intersection of real estate development and human, natural and digital assets. As Cleveland’s lakefront development progresses, understanding the impact of technology and ‘smart’ development can help ensure that our region is at the forefront of innovative, strategic place-making.
Highlights of this event include insights from local community leaders who recently attended the 2015 Intelligent Community Forum Summit in Toronto, as well as a presentation by Kristina Verner, Executive Director of Intelligent Communities for Waterfront Toronto, detailing the multi-billion dollar, digitally-infused redevelopment occurring along the city’s coast.
Registration Deadline: Monday, July 20th
