smart city tech workshops

EVENT OVERVIEW Following last year's success, DURA in partnership with CityOS is proud to present the 2016 Smart City Startups Conference, where the world’s foremost innovators on smart cities join the local community to develop smart city startups that use technology to solve the real problems of their city.
The 5-day event consists of a conference, workshops, and a hackathon, with the goal of imparting knowledge, motivating developers and other citizens, and finally, developing real-world solutions using the latest smart city technology.
This free event sparks interest around smart cities and generates local community support, but more importantly, finds the best people capable of building smart city startups that will solve the city’s specific problems. By the end of the final event, the city will already have its first functional applications built by its very own.

FEATURED SPEAKER
Making his first appearance in the region, we are excited to welcome Nathan Seidle, founder and CEO of SparkFun Electronics, as a featured speaker at this year’s conference. One of the biggest heavyweights behind the maker movement, Nathan bootstrapped SparkFun while still an engineering student, then grew his passion into one of the biggest open-source hardware providers for the global maker community. Nathan’s experience, vision, and drive is exactly the kind of spirit this conference is all about. His words will truly be an inspiration to young aspiring makers, engineers, and developers.
Speakers are mostly practitioners, young people, startup founders, and executives in the modern world of IoT and smart city technology and will discuss topics related to city-level solutions with three goals in mind:
5
1.
Demonstrating that certain problems can not only be solved, but have already been solved elsewhere
2.
Showcasing real-world case studies and implementations that solve these problems
3.
Getting the wider city community involved. Besides involving developers, engineers, and makers, the key to success is also involving architects, urbanists, ecologists, government officials, students, etc.

10.04 SMART CITY TECH WORKSHOPS After the conference, the following day will be dedicated to a series of workshops that provide in-depth training on the latest technology necessary for building smart city applications.
The workshops are conducted as intensive “Zero to Hero” bootcamps - where in 1 day attendees can learn everything from the basics all the way to building a fully functional smart city application.
Workshops will feature the latest and coolest future tech from autonomous drones and hydroponics, to robotics and building your own IoT devices.

15.04-17.04 SMART CITY HACKATHON The event culminates in a 48-hour hackathon weekend, where developers, engineers, makers, architects, UI/UX designers and others apply everything they learned and join forces to build the best smart city solutions for their city using IoT technology.
The hackathon results in multiple functional usable apps and devices. Team projects are presented on Sunday and the winners have often been rewarded with funding for their project or seed money to implement apps on the city level.
During the hackathon, we provide mentors, a hardware lab, computers for development of mobile apps, as well as food, drinks and everything else needed by participants. 9

RESULTS This event is the third installment of its kind, and consistently delivers successful results and a lasting, tangible impact. To date, over 32 applications were developed during these events and more than ten different startups – still operating today - were created.
The 2015 Dubrovnik hackathon winners went on to create two startups and have already successfully launched 4 projects for the city, including an iBeacon-driven tourism app, a real-time app for finding and purchasing parking spaces, an sensordriven automated irrigation system for city parks, and a solar bench with mobile charging stations.
