Based on her extensive experience she will describe the requirements that cities around the world are going to have to meet in order to build prosperous, liveable cities. The case studies that she will present will demonstrate the need for: a smart city executive committee, strengthened outreach and new collaborations to include all stakeholders. Sandra has previously served as Senior Director for Alliances at the Smart Cities Council where she was responsible for leading engagement with government and civic leaders in cities around the globe.

Dirk said at the DailyDOOH Investor Conference in New York recently that “Strategic opportunities abound, whether it be using modern technology to improve urban space or interacting with citizens to increase quality of life. “By 2025 we will see, over 26 groundbreaking SmartCities projects globally and with an expected market size of $1.5 trillion there are many reasons why investors and the out of home media owners who have embraced digital should sit up and take note”. Dirk will explore how the OOH and DOOH industry intersects with Smart Cities and how modern technology can be used to improve urban space and interaction with citizens to increase quality of life.
