SmartCitiesWorld Views and Vision Welcome Reception - 3 November 2025

SmartCitiesWorld Views and Vision Welcome Reception - 3 November 2025

An evening above the city, with the people shaping its future.

Join fellow city leaders, policymakers, and urban changemakers for an exclusive rooftop gathering on the eve of Smart City Expo World Congress. 

 

But it’s more than just a welcome drink. Got big questions heading into the Expo? 

We do too. On the night, we’ll ask you what you’re hoping to find answers to over the next three days of the expo - from bold ideas to practical solutions. Then we’ll check in afterward to see what you discovered. It’s a simple way to make your time at the Expo more focused, meaningful, and worth the trip. 

 

Expect: 

 - A stunning rooftop setting, great drinks, and Catalan bites

 - Lightning-fast “Vision Talks” from fellow urban thinkers

 - Space to connect meaningfully before the Expo begins 

 

Enjoy: 

 - Curated conversations with peers and partners 

 - Local wine, cocktails, and Catalan-inspired bites

 - A brief series of 3×3 Vision Talks – three speakers, three minutes each – to spark ideas that carry into the Expo 

 - Unmatched views and a warm Barcelona welcome

 

Places are limited - please RSVP to confirm your spot.

RSVP by 23 October 2025 to events@smartcitiesworld.net 

 

We look forward to welcoming you above the city.
