The Annual Smart Cities Miami Conference is an extension of these efforts, providing a forum for leaders in academia, industry, and government to closely examine evolving theories and practices in the Smart City field. The topics considered vary in scope and nature within a general theme that is particularly relevant for each year.

The theme for the 2021 edition is health and wellbeing in the post-pandemic city, providing opportunities to explore questions such as:

• How can Smart City technology monitor the emergence and transmission of contagious diseases?
• Will Smart City technology be used to enforce compliance to safety guidelines? And what will be the consequences for individual rights and privacy?
• How do embedded technology, IoT, and digital media enable healthcare at home?
