Diving right in with “The Power of ‘YES,’” Wintrich takes the audience into the world of academia and “Smart Cities” abroad and at home as rapidly as he himself dove into his job with Jim Stikeleather as a champion of Innovation Excellence. From economic development to getting the right people on the ground, this keynote follows the path of a “Smart City” and a 3.0 world Thought Leader. Plan to attend our next conference in 2017 and we'll see you there.Please visit our website for more details: http://3-Leaders.com
