The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine invite you to attend a half-day colloquium on April 12, 2019 featuring the technologies that help communities improve traffic management, air quality control, emergency health, education access, and other social services. The talks will highlight the experiences of cities that have attempted to implement smart technologies, and participants will discuss national security and privacy issues as well as the social impact of these technologies.
