 Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) says it will experience significant growth on its next edition, held Nov. 19-21 in Barcelona. 

The ninth edition SCEWC will spread over two halls of the Gran Via venue recording a 20 percent growth and breaking its record for the ninth consecutive year. Under the theme Cities Made of Dreams, the show and congress will reflect on the transformation that metropolises have experienced in the past decade, how many solutions that seemed sheer daydreaming back then are now reality, and how we have the tools turn more dreams into reality in the near future.

In 2019, the event will be jointly held with Smart Mobility Congress.
