ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT QUARTERLY
The Minister for Innovation and Skills, the Hon.
David Pisoni welcomed delegates and the Lord
Mayor of Adelaide, Sandy Verschoor declared the
conference open; “This promises to be a fantastic
event as we discuss the future of the global digital
economy and learn more about global trends in
smart cities and innovation. There’s simply no better
place in Australia to host an event like this.”
Steered by MC Todd Miller, the two-day conference
featured inspiring presentations, panel discussions
and Q&A sessions focussed on how cities and
regions across the world are navigating the smart
cities discussion. The fast and furious IGNITE
sessions were a compelling and entertaining way
to deliver a range of case studies and all speakers
were impressive in their ability to meet the 5-minute
time limit!
