CitySmart Leader's Lunch - 'Smart and Sustainable Cities'

Join Brisbane’s leaders in sustainability, economic development and innovation at the CitySmart Leader’s Lunch on 17 August. This annual event hosts some of the best and brightest minds in sustainability, combining insights from international experts with local business and networking opportunities.

This year’s topic is Smart Sustainable Cities – how will technology change the way we build cities and improve liveability?

This major shift, described as the Internet of Things, means more devices, sensors, services and data are becoming internet-connected, altering the way we build cities and communities. With the potential to improve energy, water, waste and transport management, how will you prepare for this disruption and will your industry benefit?
