The stage is set! First speakers out for SCEWC25

The anticipation is building. The first speakers are confirmed. The conference program is taking shape with many co-organized sessions by first-rate institutions. Smart City Expo 2025 represents an unparalleled opportunity to dive deep into the most pressing urban challenges while connecting with global leaders and passionate innovators. 

Twenty-five years into this millennium, our cities are becoming living, breathing testaments to human ingenuity and hope. Innovation is the lifeblood of our neighborhoods, with technology woven seamlessly into the fabric of urban living. The first quarter of this century –the Century of Cities– has shown us what’s possible when vision meets action.

Yet our greatest chapters remain unwritten. Since 2011, Smart City Expo World Congress has been a catalyst for this historic transformation. As we help cities rise to meet global challenges, they’re stepping into their role as influential actors on the world stage. Here, international pioneers, industry executives, government leaders, and researchers come together to craft our urban legacy.
