Attend MONICA project and Leeds Beckett University’s smart city showcase for an opportunity to discover applications of IoT technology for crowd safety, security and enjoyment, through the outcomes of the MONICA project and networking with relevant professionals, and influence the future of smart cities.

The smart city showcase is hosted by the MONICA project, one of the EU’s innovation projects under the Horizon2020 umbrella. The showcase will provide details of what MONICA has achieved and learned in this space – there will be interactive demos of some of the technology, as well as applied case studies and a sharing of outcomes.
