“The synthesis of architecture and network technologies.”

We hope to see many of you at our first iteration of the Cognitive Cities Salon in Amsterdam.

It is our combined pleasure to introduce you to the speakers that will engage the conversation about the future of cities at De Verdieping on the evening of June 30th.

James Burke, interaction designer, user experience architect and co-founder of VURB http://lifesized.net/
Katalin Galayas, Policy Advisor to the City of Amsterdam
Kars Alfrink ‘Chief Agent’ of Hubbub http://whatsthehubbub.nl/
Edwin Gardner, VOLUME Magazine http://www.edwingardner.nl/

The four of them will present their thoughts on urbanity, technology and how we are in the middle of it all. But the Salons are not intended to give only the speakers the stage. While sometimes it is important to only receive curated information, we are very much hoping for a lively debate at the event. Be challenged by the speakers, but also do your best to challenge them.

A special call for participation for the next IoT workshop by Volume and VURB will be delivered by Vincent Schippers, Alexander Zeh and Caro van Dijk. The workshop is for architects, planners, coders and others interested in prototyping applications for a more writeable city.

The evening will be moderated by Juha van ‘t Zelfde, host of Visible Cities.
