Technology First is introducing a new
Special Interest Group:
Municipality IT
Come join us for our inaugural session as we discuss:
"How Smart Cities are Building the Future"
There is an obvious effort underway for any sized city to try and be smart, but it is not
just to improve citizen well-being, it is also to compete for economic survival and
relevancy. Population shift and growth will happen where places can manage it and
provide the jobs needed to sustain it and being a smart city is a big step in getting there.
How cities attack their problems will determine if they get labeled a smart city or not.
Some will attack it one project at a time while others will look holistically to use
technology to improve operations and citizen engagement. There will be mostly winners

2. when cities try to be smart because it signals an effort to improve. The question is how
to maximize the potential and assure success.
Facilitated by:
Jamie Sullivan, Digital Infrastructure and Public Private Partnerships,
AT&T IoT Solutions
AT&T is focused on building smarter cities through digital infrastructure that can
communicate and share data on an open platform that will allow for applications to
solve many of the world's problems. Mobility & Transportation, Public Safety & Security,
Energy, Environment & Weather, Maintenance & Operations, Physical Infrastructure,
Communications, and Resource Conservation and much more. Now cities can rely on
help from 3rd party developers, local businesses and even citizens to use data to help
solve problems. Connected Vehicles will play an important role in sharing data and
keeping drivers and cities safe.
Jamie's main focus is to help cities to achieve these goals through adoption of new
technologies and solutions through partnerships. He has a Bachelor of Science degree
from The Ohio State University and a MBA with a focus on information systems. Jamie
comes to AT&T from GE & Motorola where he spent over 15 years in public sector
vertical markets in multiple roles working on mobile solutions, applications and wireless
infrastructure for public safety, education and government. Jamie has extensive
experience working with government and public safety around solution design and
integration using his Digital Six Sigma skills and has sat on state broadband council
boards and consulted with top leaders in government.
