Events

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, and government will discuss how AI and machine learning (ML) can address critical challenges like extreme heat, flooding, renewable energy, building systems, and urban logistics. The event will feature keynote speakers, panel discussions, start-up pitches, and interactive workshops that foster innovation and collaboration among city officials, researchers, technologists, industry leaders, and community advocates working to build stronger, more adaptive cities.

Day 2: Building Resilient Urban Systems

On day two, our programming will dig deeper into the ways AI, sensing, and automation are transforming urban systems to build more resilient, sustainable, and adaptable cities. As cities face the challenges of climate change and increasing demands on infrastructure, they must transform construction technologies, energy management, public transportation, and logistics systems. These sessions will highlight how new tools, systems, and strategies can help cities more seamlessly integrate advanced technologies to create more durable, equitable, and efficient urban environments.
