Smart cities are engaged cities. So said Usman Haque from Umbrellium in his keynote at the Empowering smart solutions for better cities conference on 2 & 3 October in Budapest.

The same thing goes for events. 2 days. 40 speakers. 150 participants. 150 stories told. 30 successes shared. 15 challenges solved. Outstanding engagement.
