Smart Parks are not just about looking smart, they are about making public parks work smarter for users, and about helping hard-pressed park managers work smarter. The key to this is the use of technology. 

Technology for use in parks is developing apace. 

2019 sees a new event on this theme called SmartParks

This all-day event, being held in Stevenage (on the East Coast Main line) in Hertfordshire on 11 October 2019 will comprise a series of talks, opportunities for networking and visiting trade stands centred around the conference theme.

Including a range of material from the inspirational to the practical, our speakers will cover a number of interrelated sessions on embracing technology to support the management and use of parks and greenspace.

This event has been developed by current park managers for park managers within their existing regional network at the lowest price possible. Because we believe that there currently is not an event quite like it in the UK to meet needs and the opportunities, it has been opened up to a wider audience.

We also have a Twitter account @Parks_Smart where you will be able to follow some of the discussion and using the #SmartParks hashtag join the debate.
