2018 GreenTech
10th Annual IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GreenTech)
The IEEE Green Technologies Conference (GreenTech) was conceived to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time-securing green and clean energy sources for the 21st century to protect the environment and help build a more resilient power grid. GreenTech is now in its 10th year, and the hope is to draw insights and encourage collaboration from many disciplines and backgrounds in order to address these challenges.
The 2018 IEEE Green Technologies Conference theme is "Smart City."
Smart cities seek to increase efficiency and improve quality of life by creating systems that reduce costs and improve services through connectivity and automation, incorporating techniques from sensing to analytics and leveraging the complementary technologies of IoT, wireless, and virtualization to deliver scalable, trusted and reliable solutions.
The conference program address relevant topics of interest including:
- Lessons learned from Global Smart Cities from Iskandar, Malaysia, Sweden, EU funded smart cities projects, Mexico, Dallas, Austin and many others
- The future of Autonomous Vehicles and Autonomous Vehicle Infrastructure
- Distributed Grids and energy infrastructure for sustainability
- Enabling technologies such as block-chain for securing software and IoT devices supply chain, AI - For actionable intelligence, 5G and IPv6
- Smart city applications from metering, to lighting, to parking
- Opportunities and challenges in Human-centered Design for Smart Cities.
