Cornell Tech's Urban Tech Summit returns on November 19-20, 2024, focusing on the theme of Intelligence for Climate Adaptation. Organized by the Urban Tech Hub at Cornell Tech's Jacobs Institute, this year's Summit will explore cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to create more resilient urban environments.
Over two days, leading experts from industry, academia, & government will discuss how AI & machine learning (ML) can address critical challenges like extreme heat, flooding, renewable energy & building systems, & urban logistics. The event will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, start-up pitches, & interactive workshops that foster innovation & collaboration among city officials, researchers, technologists, industry leaders, & community advocates working to build stronger, more adaptive cities.
Tickets:
Standard Ticket ($499): This two-day pass includes entry to both days of programming.
Premium Ticket ($749): This two-day pass includes entry to both days of programming, as well as exclusive access to additional networking events with conference speakers, government leaders, & Cornell Tech faculty during the two-day event (more details to follow).
What to expect at the 2024 Urban Tech Summit:
Intensive programming about how artificial intelligence & machine learning can address critical challenges like extreme heat, flooding, renewable energy & building systems, & urban logistics
Opportunities to connect with leaders & experts in the field
Collaboration among members of the New York climate innovation community
A diverse & inspiring environment curated for inspiring solutions
Day 1: Hazards, Impacts, & Technology Solutions
The first day of the Summit will open with an examination of the ways AI & ML can enhance urban resilience by addressing challenges related to extreme heat & flooding. Discussions will look at the role of AI in developing targeted cooling strategies, improving flood models, & supporting equitable relocation, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between city officials, scientists, & residents.
Afternoon sessions will explore the potential of emerging technologies like digital twins & generative AI models to enhance climate resilience & urban adaptation efforts. These discussions will uncover how cities can effectively collaborate with AI & leverage real-time data for innovation while addressing challenges such as transparency & environmental impact.
Day 2: Building Resilient Urban Systems
On day two, our programming will dig deeper into the ways AI, sensing, & automation are transforming urban systems to build more resilient, sustainable, & adaptable cities. As cities face the challenges of climate change & increasing demands on infrastructure, they must transform construction technologies, energy management, public transportation, & logistics systems. These sessions will highlight how new tools, systems, & strategies can help cities more seamlessly integrate advanced technologies to create more durable, equitable, & efficient urban environments.
