"For the last decade we have been talking about Smart Cities and yet we are still struggling to move beyond strategies and plots. What has gone wrong? In this presentation Simon Giles will explore the challenges that are holding cities back and will propose a new direction for cities that may help to realise the potential of technology for citizens and city employees and consequently, save Smart Cities from being its own worst enemy." Simon Giles, Managing Director & Global Cities Lead, Accenture International Technology Conference Mindtrek 2017 20th - 21st of September, 2017 Tampere, Finland
