There is no doubt that technology has been one of the biggest influences on how our communities change over time. As we move into the fourth industrial revolution, we once again see the world around us shift and the way we live our lives transformed by new technologies. Future Communities is about creating an integrated and sustainable society, where cross-sector collaborative technology creates a seamless experience across all aspects of life.
Join us for a very special collaborative event where we will be exploring exactly what Future Communities means for each of us.
