Concerns over efficient energy use and reducing carbon footprints are top-of-mind for today’s markets. What are some of the potential threats when transitioning to the Smart Grid, or to an entire Smart City? CIO Talk Radio host, Sanjog Aul, will be facilitating pointed discussions on current Smart Grid challenges and trends with insights from subject matter experts and seasoned practitioners.
A live panel discussion,“The Smart City Project: Infrastructure, Industry and Citizens”, will be broadcast at 9:00AM CDT on Wednesday, March 20. Panelists include Harriet Tregoning, Director of the Washington D.C. Office of Planning; Gary Foster, CTO of the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA); and Dennis Gribble, Vice President and CIO of Idaho Power.
Building a Smart City will require real collaborative effort from Utilities, IT and telecommunications to provide smart solutions for the community anything from transportation, water, waste management to building systems. The panel will discuss how these elements related to technology, sustainability and citizen well-being will be integrated to meet the demands of rising populations. How will the private sector work together with local governments to find creative solutions, and who’s going to pay for it all?
