A global conversation, close to home
The countdown is on to the SmartCitiesWorld Summit 2026, running June 22-26 in London and online. More than 90 speakers and 3,000-plus delegates from over 1,000 cities are expected. The program includes in-person sessions at County Hall on June 24.
For residents, city policy is never abstract for long. It shapes commutes, energy bills, public services and how neighborhoods handle extreme weather. The Summit brings leaders and experts together to turn big plans into practical steps.
Three pressures, one shared agenda
This year’s expanded focus reflects the connected challenges cities face: climate change, infrastructure resilience and digital transformation. Discussions will cover climate action, stronger urban services and the use of technology to improve efficiency and resident outcomes.
Digital tools can help cities spot problems sooner and make better use of limited resources. Still, technology is not a solution by itself. Cities must weigh costs, protect public trust and ensure new systems work for the people who rely on them.
From ideas to everyday benefits
Mayors, policymakers, public-sector leaders and technology partners will take part in panel discussions, keynotes and presentations. The aim is to share useful approaches and build partnerships that help cities move from strategy to delivery.
Ultimately, progress will be measured in daily life: cleaner transport, more reliable services and neighborhoods better prepared for disruption. Registration is open for both in-person and virtual attendance.
