Purpose

Why a SmarterCape Summit? Why Now?

Economic pressures mean old models in the region must change … Water, energy, and transportation challenges cry out for new ways of thinking …A new open-access 300-mile fiber middle mile network removes barriers & creates opportunities …Challenges and opportunities surround us and it all adds up to a unique moment in time!

Last year’s summit featured speakers like Lou Zacharilla from Intelligent Communities Forum, Dr. Sharon Nunes of IBM Smarter Planet, Secretary Gregory Bialecki and Governor Deval Patrick. We will again feature powerful plenary sessions and seven themes for the breakouts – environment, economy, development, education, healthcare, transportation, and government.

Please join us at the beautifully renovated Sea Crest Beach Hotel on Old Silver Beach in North Falmouth to enjoy two days of stimulating discussion, information sharing, advocacy and collaboration as we educate the region on how to be a “smarter” place.

Monday & Tuesday, May 14 & 15, 2012 Registration opens @ 1 PM on Monday and the event runs through Tuesday afternoon.

Stay tuned for a full schedule of speakers and workshops.
