GPC Disruptive Technology and Digital Cities
February 26 & 27, 2018
Stanford University
TRANFORMING DISRUPTIVE TECHNOLOGY INTO
OPPORTUNITY FOR GROWTH
Welcome! The 2018 Digital Cities Summit hosted by Stanford Global Projects Center, and mediaX on February 26-27, 2018 brings together an elite group of over 250 global CEOs, SVPs, entrepreneurs, Stanford Faculty, Silicon Valley, and government policy makers at the Stanford campus in Palo Alto, California. The goal of the summit is to explore how disruptive technology is transforming commercial markets in urban centers. The advent of mobile networks and automobiles as scanning platforms changes the very nature of how we think about urban markets. Collection of data will begin to cross the data layers of cities and urban markets creating new business models and transforming entire industries. New visual modeling platforms will make it possible to view activity in an entire city in a way that allows us to forecast impact with a high degree of reliability thanks to advances in predictive analytics and computational power. This year’s Summit provides a unique opportunity to join a seminal two- day event to hear visionary keynote presentations and interact with other corporate executives to better understand how digitalization of urban markets have refined what we mean by the term digital cities, and how emerging trends in technologies will create new business opportunities for growth. Executives will leave with new knowledge and insight about how to incorporate truly emerging technologies--already changing, disrupting and shaping today’s cities--into their own innovative products and services.
