Welcome to the SmartSheffield meetup on Local Climate Tech! In this event, we will explore the innovative ways in which locally developed technology is being used to combat climate change both here and around the world. As the world faces an urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and limit global warming, it is essential that we come together to find sustainable solutions for our communities.
This, the 21st SmartSheffield meetup, will be held in the Cantor Building (room TBC) at Sheffield Hallam University and will be hosted by our new sponsors: the Smart Technologies programme in the SHU Department of Computing who join Arup, the University of Sheffield and Sheffield Digital as main sponsors of the event!
As always, the format is that people can arrive from 6:30pm, then from 7pm there will be four short talks, followed by a quick bulletin from Chris Dymond on the latest local smart city news of interest, and then refreshments and chat until roughly 9pm.
Everyone is welcome and the meetup is designed for anyone with an interest in urban technologies and where cities are headed, not only professionals. Smart cities is a very broad and changing field and we are very grateful to be able to welcome people from many different fields, backgrounds and levels of knowledge.
We are yet to confirm our speaker line-up but check back here and on social media for updates, and if you would like to contribute a talk, please get in touch!

We really look forward to seeing you there!
