The event will also feature an update on the new GCTC Smart Regions Collaborative, which includes the National Association of Regional Councils.

The expo will showcase technologies and service providers that offer some of these solutions. To date, GCTC has created over 200 teams of more than 150 cities and 400 organizations working on solutions that could be deployed across multiple cities - a key component of these projects is that they are replicable and scalable. The Global Cities Team Challenge (GCTC) was launched by NIST in 2014 to encourage collaboration among those building smart city/community solutions.
