💥 Do you have SXSW Sydney FOMO? Why not win your way to a ticket?! Or if you already have a ticket, come and see us on stage at 3.15pm. I cannot wait to join Andre Eikmeier and Fiona Vale in this robust conversation about keeping the human at the centre of creating smart cities. #Joinus to share in insights from some of Australia's most innovative organisations in their fields - Smart Cities Council, Smart Cities Council - ANZ, Good Empire and Humanico 💡 Imagine if… your local town or neighborhood—not just a major city—was a global leader in smart living. Imagine if citizen voices shaped every decision about the future of our places, from inclusive transport to community-owned energy systems. We'll explore how citizen-centric design can create spaces that are smart because they listen to those who live, work, and play in them. We want you to hashtag #jointheconversation. What role can we all play in building places where everyone feels empowered, connected, and cared for? And how can we ensure technology serves humanity—not the other way around? ✨ Two Free Tickets Giveaway: We’re offering two free SXSW tickets to the two most thoughtful replies! Tell us what smart places mean to you or share a challenge you think we should tackle during the panel. Leave your comments below! #sxswsydney #smartcities #joinus #humancentreddesign #haveyoursay
