While today’s exploding digital marketplace provides consumers with great gains, the industry’s structures, practices, and lack of regulation create anti-consumer results. The relatively unchecked cycle of decreasing competition with acquisition has left the industry with an unsupervised culture where the consumer is the product and the companies make the rules.

A live, virtual event on how cities are building stronger, more efficient operations to support an increasingly digital economy. We will unpack how the public and private sectors can work together to create a more seamless urban experience.
