What previous speakers said about our Congress
“One of the things that I really like about the Smart City Expo World Congress is that it has put cities at the center of this discussion. I think that’s a perfect way to have the kind of discussion that we need to have to build the cities that we want to see.”
Janette Sadik-KhanFormer Transportation Commissioner, City of New York 
“The Smart City Expo World Congress is a fantastic place to talk about IoT, the advancements of 5G, which speeds up things and productivity, but also to understand that we need to institute all sorts of security around our interconnected devices.”
Shira RubinoffPresident, Prime Tech Partners 
“The Smart City Expo World Congress is a congress I’ve been inspired by. I’ve been to a lot of conferences all over the world and, here in Barcelona, I’ve been inspired by the passion, the attendance, and the will to make a difference.”
Laura Faye TenenbaumScience Communicator, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory 
“This is my fourth time at Smart City Expo World Congress and I have to say it’s mature. There is a much more robust, rich perspective of what smart technology could bring to sustainable mobility of cities of the future.”
Robert CerveroProfessor Emeritus, University of California Berkeley
