— JONATHAN REICHENTAL, PH. D.

“Thank you, Bernardo Scheinkman, for his amazing ability to convene so many inspiring speakers at the Smart City Expo Miami. I left Florida even more hopeful of the future possibilities for government innovation and action.”

— MICHAEL LAKE, PRESIDENT & CEO, LEADING CITIES

“All the presentations were impressive and thought-provoking, and a great contribution to the ongoing conversation in our region and worldwide about leveraging multidisciplinary collaboration and innovative solutions to solve the resilience challenges of cities.”

— RAIMUNDO RODULFO, CIO, CITY OF CORAL GABLES

“Leading Cities is a global nonprofit organization that drives resiliency and sustainability in cities around the world. And we're here today at the Smart City Expo Miami, which has been an amazing event to bring together incredible thought leaders from around the world to share their solutions. There are opportunities, and what we've ultimately seen is a real engagement in leaders to explore new conversations, to move the ball forward in the smart cities industry, and to explore tangible results that can be achieved by implementing new projects, new solutions, and bringing our communities into the future to achieve the dream of smart cities.”

— MICHAEL LAKE, PRESIDENT & CEO, LEADING CITIES

“I just wanted to reach out and thank you for hosting such a fantastic event at the Smart City Expo Miami. I've been glued to my screen for the past two days, and the lineup of speakers has been absolutely brilliant.”

— MARIA MACANDREW, CHIEF OPERATIONS OFFICER, AIETHICS.WORLD

“What a powerful meeting of brilliant minds. Grateful for all your visionary leadership Bernardo Scheinkman and Jonathan Reichental, Ph.D.!”

— CHARLENE YU VAUGHN, GLOBAL STRATEGIC ADVISOR, THE ALGONQUIN GROUP

“As a former CIO, I enjoyed Michael Pegues’ talk on the role of CIO. Good experiences and knowledge to support the holistic approach of data-driven cities.”

— ALEXÁNDER RICARDO ANDRADE, CHIEF SMART CITIES, STEFANINI SYSMAN

“I had an incredible conversation about #accessibility with Marcie Roth and Ciawanda McDonald on stage at Smart City Expo Miami.

It’s clear we still aren’t doing enough to make sure the #infrastructure investments we are making now are going to have the impact we want for people living with disabilities—and this is especially important when it comes to how we are responding to #climatechange. I think our chat was really different from what often makes it on stage at these events.

I heard a lot of about the problems to solve—for example of extreme traffic congestion – that tracks directly back to quality of life for everyday #people

As always, so great to spend time with Microsoft colleagues in-person! What a treat!”

— JEREMY M. GOLDBERG, WORLDWIDE DIRECTOR OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE, MICROSOFT

“We would like to congratulate the different speakers for the quality of their presentations. We look forward for the next edition.”

— MARIA MAGDALENA CORTIÑAS, CITYDATA.AI

“Listening to some world-class speakers and meeting some fascinating innovators at the Smart City Expo in Miami last week, compelled me to reflect on how our world has changed and the ever increasing need to question how we influence city decision making—how we help city leaders choose new directions and new technology. Here are my takeaways:

1. I held a mini ‘Question Storming’ session, and asked the audience a very complex question, ‘How can we create resilient cities?’ In a short span of time, only allowed to ask questions, we generated over 50 questions, quickly appreciating the difficulty of the challenge. We were not in search of a solution, per se, only insights that would help us think differently and ultimately discover solutions never thought of before! I am confident that our willingness to listen and learn from each other is at the heart of what cities need for future resilience.

2. Nature-based solutions were the star of the Expo! Almost every presentation demonstrated the need to find answers in nature—from city and seawall design, to water and heat adaptations, to social co-creation toward a green digital deal, to astonishing tech to eliminate waste, to taking a ‘nature pill’—all propositions that see our changed world in the light of ‘Mother Nature.’

3. It’s not about the money. It’s not about technology. It is about our ability to trust one another, to inspire others to have confidence in themselves and to make the best choices in a world full of choices. Just one example, I was so impressed with the thoughtfulness of the team at Coral Gables, Florida, led by CIO Raimundo Rodulfo. Check out their comprehensive plans and preparedness in creating a smart and resilient city.”

— SANDRA BAER, CEO, PERSONAL CITIES

“Wonderful two days spent in Miami, at the Smart City Expo Miami convened by Bernardo Scheinkman. Excellent having the Mayor of MiamiDade Daniella Levine Cava share the stage with us. Excellent lineup of speakers collectively addressing the analogue and digital fundamentals of getting our urban futures sorted. Grateful for the opportunity to have been able to share some of the Gemeente Rotterdam experience, the work done at Thunderbird School of Global Management as well as the #UrbanInnovatorsInc work announced, going live in 2023!”

— BAS BOORSMA, PARTNER, VENTUREROCK URBAN (GLOBAL)

“Had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the Smart City Expo Miami that convened global leaders in sustainability. During the conference tech innovations such as ClimateTech, HealthTech, FinTech, Global Sponge Cities, Inclusive Community Engagement, Digital Twin Environment, Power Resilience, among others where showcased.

Thank you, Bernardo Scheinkman, CEO at Smart Cities Americas, for the invitation to our students, faculty, and researchers that allow us to learn from each other and building bridges of collaboration worldwide.”

— DR. GABRIELA GERON, DIRECTOR OF PARTNERSHIPS, INNOVATION & COMMUNICATIONS, UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI

“We’re here today at the Smart City Expo Miami absolutely enjoying the people that we’re meeting, learning an awful lot about how we can apply our three GPP cellular networks in the smart city design and deployment. It’s been very interesting meeting some of the other companies that will fully integrate with our capabilities and we’ll be able to demonstrate a transition from what is considered a military or other grade of class of communications into a commercial smart city. And we’ve had a great time listening to some of the TED Talks. We’ve been learning a lot into actually transitioning our company and efforts and to be able to help the cities in this area.”

— DOUGLAS SCOTT, DIRECTOR, FENIX GROUP

“Thanks for great collaboration across time and space!”

— EDNA PASHER, FOUNDER & CEO, ISRAEL SMART CITIES INSTITUTE

“Always an amazing time when great minds gather to help evolve our world for better.

I am blessed enough to have had the opportunity alongside these incredible people!”

— MADISON ROBERTS, FOUNDER & CEO, CRYPTO ESTATE

“Honored to have a fireside chat with Michael Pegues, CIO of City of Aurora, Illinois on the role of the Public Sector CIO. Pegues has always advocated on how this role is not just about enabling the technology infrastructure and collaboration platforms for internal employees; it also includes purposeful engagement with the residents of the communities they serve directly or indirectly. It takes inclusive communities to make smarter cities!

It was great to meet members of the North American FIWARE Task Force in Miami at the Smart City Expo Miami—Great conversation on advancing the #opensource data platform dialog for #smartercities Have met many of those in the picture virtually but meeting in person is a different experience altogether!”

— E.G. NADHAN, GLOBAL CHIEF ARCHITECT LEADER, RED HAT

“It was an honour to speak in person at the Smart City Expo Miami which took place at the James L. Knight Conference Center in Downtown Miami. I was glad to be in a modern city that is a gateway for the Americas and meet there distinguished attendants, speakers and thought leaders, and learn first hand from Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, what are some of the challenges and opportunities for Miami in terms of long term sustainability and resilience. But Miami was not alone in its desire to become environmentally sustainable and inclusive. As I learned from other speakers that shared brilliant case studies from the U.S. and globally. I am looking to follow up on this and help build alliances that can contribute to make cities, communities and regions, worldwide, become more attractive, inclusive, sustainable and resilient.”

— TOBIAS MENDELOVICI, DIRECTOR, OCEAN BUSINESS

“As we wrapped the year, one of my highlights was the freshly wrapped Smart City Expo Miami. True thought #leaders on this space were part of it including #Miami #dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava Bernardo Scheinkman really was able to bring global #leaders to #miami and have meaningful conversations about how are we going to #transform our cities to be able to embrace #technology in a #sustainable way. As I always say, the SMART in #smartcities, is not about the #technology, is about how we humans implement it.”

— LETICIA LATINO-VAN SPLUNTEREN, CEO, NEPTUNO USA

“Sustainability is the new #SMART! Great conversation with my friend E.G. Nadhan and new partners from FIWARE.

The age of digital cooperation is here! We believe in a future in which improved digital cooperation can drive environmental, social and governance, on best practices and frameworks to promote #sustainability and #resiliency.”

— MICHAEL PEGUES, CIO, CITY OF AURORA, ILLINOIS

“We’re excited to be at Smart City Expo Miami December 12-14!

Whether you are a city, an end user, a system integrator, an iHub, a university, a venture capitalist looking for investment potentials, meet FIWARE Management, many FIWARE members and stakeholders from around the world to learn how open source and open standards make Smart Cities even smarter!”

— FIWARE FOUNDATION

“An exceptional panel at Smart City Expo Miami 2022 shared great insight on how technology will enable and accelerate the transformation of cities and communities into efficient and sustainable environments. Thanks to FIWARE’s ever-growing network of partners worldwide, it is fast becoming a reality.”

— SALIM BENDRIS, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT GLOBAL SALES, NIVID TECHNOLOGIES

“I’m attending the Smart City Expo Miami for the first time. And I have to tell you, it’s been a valuable experience in regards to networking. I have met some amazing people who are doing some amazing things in smart technologies, smart city ecosystems. The innovation that’s been presented at this conference is second to none, to see the progress that cities are making and to see the local innovation and to also have access to an international community so that our network is not just local in Miami, but we have representation from multiple countries here at the expo. That means that a small business owner like myself, gets to conduct international business through conferences that interconnect me and others together so that we can collaborate, build new partnerships, and further fortify our ability to deliver services that are smart for cities, for universities, for organizations going forward.

So the Smart City Expo Miami has been fantastic in that regards. It’s also I would say a place of education to learn what's happening in the future with AI, to understand the use cases that are being delivered around the country and around the world. Opens our eyes to new ideas, and it allows us to expose ourself to very positive thinkers, very positive messaging that gives us that ability to take that energy into our own planning and to hopefully innovate and continue to build out services that are relevant, services that are multicultural in nature, and a platform that’s ethical is what we are learning today, that multiple organizations are all moving towards the same path. How can we be ethical, open service oriented, and subordinate to our clients so that their needs and outcomes that are measurable are ones that demonstrate the value more so than a good sales pitch. And that’s what I’m finding here today. Real meat and potatoes as far as what can be done, what should be done, and how it can get done.”

— JEM PAGAN, CEO, BLU SKY CONSULTING

“It was fascinating to join a dazzling line of speakers and experts at the Smart City Expo Miami this week. I was especially inspired to hear from the Mayor of Kyiv Vitali Klitschko, a resilient #leader for an unprecedented time. Wow! His work truly personifies what we mean by #resilience at the Knowledge Exchange for Resilience at Arizona State University

Great contributions from boundary-spanning actors, including Paul Doherty, Raimundo Rodulfo, E.G. Nadhan, Michael Lake, Karen Vega, and Bas Boorsma.”

— SARBESWAR PRAHARAJ, ASSISTANT RESEARCH PROFESSOR & ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR, ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY

“Great event with many forward thinkers focused on helping make our cities BOTH more smart and more green!”
