“A small town that has developed quickly over the past few years to be a diverse and advanced city” Join the inaugural event of Conscious Brisbane, “Designing a Smart, Equitable Brisbane” organised and hosted by Jenna Mikus. As Brisbane prepares to host the 2032 Olympics, it is important that we consider not only “smart city”-related digital concepts but also experiences that support Justice, Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (JEDI) concepts, enhance citizen well-being, respectfully acknowledge and apply diverse takes on knowledge, and value non-human perspectives. In this session, industry and academic speakers will provide short presentations on these important topics and consider related questions for future development. Featured Speakers: Marcus Foth, Jess McLean, Louise Baldwin, Sarah Barns, and Jonanthan Sri.
