09:50-10:00AM Opening Keynote Speech

10:00-10:30AM Speaker: Dr. Hafiz Yasar Lateef,

Cyber Security Expert, Sydney, Australia.

Topic: What Governments can do to ensure Smart Healthcare Facilities are Secure by Design?

10:30AM-11:00AM Speaker Jorge Sebastiao,

Co-Founder & Executive Director, Global Blockchain Organization, UAE.

Topic: How Blockchain can Empower Smart Cities

Summary: The emergence of societal issues associated with expanding urbanization at the same time as the growing need to reduce public budgets are two of the primary reasons why smart cities are gaining so much attention. Advanced technology, including blockchain can play a key role in solving these societal issues and achieving efficient urban management. Blockchain enables network participants to exchange data with a high degree of reliability and transparency without the need for a centralized administrator. Cities have a variety of stakeholders and the exchange of data among stakeholders is essential for highly convenient urban services.

Topic: Importance of AI and Seamless Integration in City Operations & Governance.

Summary: With digitisation of various public services, more and more real-time and historical data becomes available to municipalities, businesses and transport operators. In order to make use of this data in a short timeframe, computing and decisions will need to be more frequently delegated to AI - from traffic light and parking sensor management to utility and housing. According to UITP report “Moving forward with artificial intelligence in public transport”, AI is already used for 25% of real-time operations management and customer analytics and 21% of intelligent ticketing systems and these percentages will continue to grow.

Several national governments are adopting green recovery initiatives, but the role of cities in these strategies and the extent to which these packages will drive the circular economy remain unclear. Building on case studies on the circular economy at the various national and local levels, the session will discuss the role of cities and regions within COVID-19 recovery plans and how they can establish a governance system that enables the circular transition and helps measure progress.

11:30PM to 12:00PM

Panel Discussion on How to Transition from Smart Cities to Metaverse

In the race towards the future, governments had been making efforts for smart cities until they encountered ‘metaverse’. Cities, particularly in developing countries, are transitioning from analogue/conventional platforms to digital platforms. However, as ‘metaverse’ is going to be the new ecosystem for various interactions and a new target for various cities and states to accomplish. Metaverse will be no less than a movie scene, imagine your digital twin or your digital avatar going to work or visiting a public office on your behalf. Cities will altogether have a new definition where people will be meeting and communicating virtually. Developing cities in the metaverse requires loads of data to be brought into a digital form along with the help of GIS mapping. The Metaverse allows us to put the data to good use finally. The overlap between the virtual and real worlds will simplify our interactions with the government and save time and money. Simulated twins of our cities will quickly calculate the impact of changes and create a cleaner and less stressful environment.

Panel Discussion on The Future of Work in 2022

Disruptive innovations are creating new industries and business models, and destroying old ones. New technologies, data analytics and social networks are having a huge impact on how people communicate, collaborate and work. As generations collide, workforces become more diverse and people work longer; traditional career models may soon be a thing of the past. Many of the roles and job titles of tomorrow will be ones we’ve not even thought of yet. One thing is clear about work: it has changed dramatically over the past two years. But the questions that are much more complex, and on all of our minds, are:

Q. What will the future of work look like in 2022 and beyond?

Q. How are disruptive technologies going to affect the talent your business needs?

Q. How can you Humanize the Future of Work?

Cybersecurity should be a major concern for every organization in business today. Cybercrimes affect all types of organizations (large, small, well-known, private, public, etc.) and seem to be making news headlines nearly every day. The impact of a breach on your organization can mean significant profit loss, regulatory fines, reputation destruction and the loss of valuable customers. When customers trust your organization, you are expected to protect their customer data. That’s why organizations need to learn how to collect, properly utilize and eventually eliminate customer data, all while maintaining robust security posture.Explore how organizations can be transparent, prepared and vigilant for cybersecurity threats at cybersecurity conference session.
