Future Communities Forum
The POWER OF SHARED DATA
SCAG’s Future Communities Forum is a unique gathering of researchers, business and civic leaders, and policymakers from Southern California and around the world that will showcase how technology and open data are being used to solve common challenges.
The forum is being held as a special pre-conference session to SCAG’s annual Regional Conference & General Assembly, which brings together over 1,000 attendees, including state and local elected officials from the six counties and 191 cities in the region, to address issues impacting Southern California and spotlight innovative solutions.
Through the Future Communities Forum, SCAG seeks to highlight and accelerate innovation and open data in the public sector. As the preeminent data center in Southern California, SCAG is working to foster collaboration among communities and researchers across the globe to identify replicable solutions and tools, as well as better data, that can support more informed decision-making. The forum will include discussions with experts and thought leaders as well as share best practices on challenges such as poverty, the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce, climate change and adaptation, and sustainable development.
