Global Mixer

ISCN Global Mixer – fresh inputs for smart city development from around the world

One of the International Smart Cities Network’s core knowledge-formats is the “ISCN Global Mixer”, a complementary to our other activities and strategic exchanges: A wide spectrum of selected smart city topics is brought to you in less than 30 minutes (20 min keynote + 10 min Q&A).

On our agenda are intriguing and practical ideas that cater to the pulse of your interests. Moreover, the ISCN Global Mixer is a vehicle to onramp out-of-the-box content or experimental approaches from the very frontier of smart city development into the discourse of our network. We appreciate an active culture of discussion and aim to link practitioners to the experiences in our network and vice versa.

The upcoming ISCN Global Mixer Sessions form part of Urban October, a global initiative launched by UN-Habitat and accompanied by specialized, city-focused events organized by GIZ.
