- Bity City Conference
BitCity is an all-day conference about Transportation, Data, and Technology in Cities.
BitCity is how we describe the recent conversation about the possibilities to use data and technology to enhance our cities. On the most basic level a “bit” is at the core of recent discussions around how data and technology can enhance our cities because it is “the basic unit of information in computing and telecommunications”. It’s our increased capacity to store, communicate, and visualize our everyday lives in the form of bits that has renewed a conversation about how data can be used to plan and manage the future of our cities.
Speakers include New York City Transportation Commissioner Janette Sadik-Khan, Matthew W. Daus, former New York City Taxi & Limousine Commissioner, and many others.
