The exhibition

The Lucy Zodion team will take delegates through its smart city solution Ki. and the many use cases that help overcome smart city challenges, in a series of on stand demonstrations.
The Conference
The Conference has been designed to bring some of the leading smart city specialists and most influential city leaders together, to discuss and understand some of the core initiatives and challenges impacting smart city development today. With Keynote speakers such as Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan and sessions from Microsoft, the Conference looks set to provide valuable insight from powerful figures in the smart city sector.
Lucy Zodion will also deliver a session at the Conference to explore the capabilities of Ki. It will explore use cases that detail how to overcome some of the common challenges cities face. From efficiency to asset management, environmental changes to futureproofing, the specialist will take delegates through the many ways Ki. is able to unlock the potential with openness and insights.
The Awards
The third annual awards for Smart Cities UK will take place the evening of the International Exhibition and Conference. The awards have been introduced to honour organisations across the UK, Europe and beyond that are demonstrating use of behaviour change education, technology and innovation to overcome economic and social challenges.
Lucy Zodion will sponsor the awards to reinforce its dedication to the Smart Cities UK ‘Meeting City Challenges’ campaign.
