About
Smart City Expo Miami is an international conference produced by Smart Cities Americas LLC, a Florida Corporation. It is the largest global event of the year hosted from Miami second year in a row, featuring award-winning and globally-recognized experts.

In the sessions, we learned from the best practices implemented in other cities and industries, as foundational building blocks to apply in our own backyard in order to prolong positive and profitable development for as long as possible. It all started with the meeting of the minds at Smart City Expo Miami. The event covered innovation areas specifically Sustainable Growth, Climate Action, Resilient Infrastructure, Smart Destinations, Inclusive & Sharing Cities and Quality of Life. Along with insight on smart cities that comprise of cities experiences, hubs such as Innovation, Startups, and a CIO Music Hall. By interacting with local community and raising awareness of the importance of urban planning, this event stimulated business trade and international missions, encouraged the use of circular economy and marketed Miami as an innovation platform. All participants joined the C-Movement — citizen, community, city — aimed to engage and empower citizens and communities to participate in the planning and implementation of actions to meet the core functions of their cities: livability, workability, and sustainability. The event provided a powerful opportunity to ignite essential conversations and inspire life-changing ideas that can have a lasting effect in our communities and beyond for generations. It is a time to come together and collaborate on building stronger, more conscious developmental practices making the transition to green economy, and there is no greater place to begin than in the international metropolis that is the Magic City.
