Exclusive Invitation

Local Government e-Leaders Forum 2.0 May 20 – 21, 2010 in the City of Luxembourg

In recent times, cities and their local governments are facing numerous challenges such as climate change, economic turmoil, ageing society, rising energy consumption, pressure to improve mobility, balancing budgets, cost control and an increasing demand for better public services. In order to address these challenges, future-proof innovations are needed to make the city a better place to work, live, learn and play.

The event’s theme is ‘Turning megatrends into future-proof developments creating a competitive edge for cities’.

Ville de Luxembourg and Cisco are delighted to invite you to the e-Leaders Forum in Luxembourg on the 20th and 21st May, 2010.

Luxembourg, the host city of the event, is not only an example of e-leadership but it is also an example of a modern city that has embraced the opportunities of high-tech life without losing its cultural traditions. Luxembourg is also known as one of the most international cities in Europe with people from over 150 different countries calling it their home and 120.000 daily commuters calling it their workplace. Luxembourg also plays host to a number of EU institutions and more than 200 financial institutions. 21st century connectivity is visible everywhere, including the impressive HotCity mobility services which provides a city wide WiFi platform that brings together 100,000 users with the city’s services. All of this makes Luxembourg an ideal place for our next e-Leaders Forum.

We look forward to seeing you in Luxembourg so that we can discuss how to accelerate progress towards sustainable, smart & connected communities.

Paul Helminger Mayor of Ville de Luxembourg
