he Qualcomm Smart Cities Accelerate 2021 keynote panel will feature Cristiano Amon, Magic Johnson, and James Reynolds discussing the crucial role digital transformation is playing in reimagining today’s modern cities, spaces, and experiences.
In the wake of an ongoing pandemic, technology and digital tools have stepped up to solve evolving industry and connectivity needs. Innovation and invention are driving new channels of communication and lifestyles, with much of this change happening in the hearts of our cities and urban neighborhoods across the country. The future of modern cities, spaces, and experiences lies in the continuation of rapid digital development led by collaborations between city officials, business leaders, and citizens in every industry — from healthcare and education to transportation and construction.
For the keynote panel, Amon will sit down with Johnson and Reynolds to discuss how 5G and other technologies can accelerate this digital transformation throughout U.S. cities. The deployment of 5G and expansion of critical broadband infrastructure is already having an enormous impact on closing the digital divide.
The group will speak about how communication technologies are building equitable solutions for communities in many major cities, especially when paired with advanced computing capabilities like AI and the cloud. With so many industries standing to benefit from 5G and other technologies, digital transformation stands to reinvigorate U.S. cities and citizens through concrete digital-first solutions in a digital-first world.
