The impact of technology on transport: is the worlds most liveable city ready?

Hosted by:

May 16, 2016 @ 10:30 pm - May 17, 2016 @ 12:00 am

– Members' Lunch with Barry Einsig, Global Transportation Executive, Cisco’s Internet of Everything Vertical Solutions Group.

To kick off our series of infrastructure and transport futures, Robert Pradolin will host this lunch with Barry Einsig, together with Tim Fawcett, Director Corporate and Government Affairs Cisco Systems Australia Pty Ltd.

This lunch is not for the faint hearted or those with little futuristic ideals. Who would have thought that wireless technology would have been successful?  How about driverless vehicles?

Within the Vertical Solutions Group, Barry is the Business Lead responsible for driving the growth strategy, business planning, thought leadership and solutions designs and validation for all modes of transportation.

Barry has been an active member of the American Public Transportation Association, Association of American Railroads Wireless Communications Committee, and the Intelligent Transportation Society of America.

If you have a passion for future gazing, infrastructure and transportation, then book quickly! Barry is here from America for a limited time and we are delighted that he will be joining us.
