IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL MEETUP: Francis Pollara: Developing Smart Cities with Community and Digital Technology

Mobility is the through-line that allows people to connect and participate in our communities and society at large. The way we move has a far deeper impact on our everyday lives than most people recognize. Mobility innovation is a social negotiation of space, how people get from one place to another, and what modes they use to get to their destinations. This innovation is controlled by government processes, policy conditions, and markets. Urban Movement Labs is a first-of-its-kind community-based nonprofit collaboration that brings together government, businesses, and the community to build equitable and sustainable transportation tech solutions in real urban conditions.

(5/30/22 Notice: This Sep 2022 event will be in-person in Pasadena and virtual on Zoom. Please check Meetup Page closer to the event date for details & directions. Thank you.) Web 3.0 is the idea that the next iteration of the Internet will be decentralized where it will not be controlled by the big tech. In the context of identity, decentralized identity will realize the concept of data rights and put the control of identity back to the people.

ABOUT OUR MEETUP

These are weekly coffee meet-ups to increase and enhance the vibrancy of the great Pasadena tech and start-up community. We have a cross section of interested innovators (investors, entrepreneurs, programmers, CTO’s, VC’s, angels, etc) who are eager to more actively engage with other members of our local community. These sessions occur every Friday from 8:15am to 9:30am and are informal. We typically have a short structured presentation on a specific topic or do a deeper dive on a local company. All interested parties are welcome to attend.
