Upcoming editionSmart City Expo World Congress 2026

01 / Make the call
Is this the right room?
Emitree's assessment of audience fit. Conference access does not establish buying intent or guarantee meetings.
Consider it if
You consult to cities or utilities on climate adaptation, energy transition, or urban data, or sell municipally flavored software such as city emissions inventories or building performance tools. Buy the visitor pass, not Full Congress.
Consider another event if
You sell voluntary carbon credits or corporate ESG reporting, or you need in-quarter closes; municipal procurement runs 12-24 months.
02 / Understand the audience
Who attends
Municipal: mayors, city sustainability and resilience officers, urban planners, and utility and transit leads, attending in delegations for free. 55% decision-makers, 27% government titles. Corporate CSOs and CSRD buyers are absent.
How large is the event?
2025 actual: 27,000+ attendees, 143 countries, 1,190 exhibitors (Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, Dell), about 350 startups. 2026 projects the same.

The practical questions
Before you decide
Is Smart City Expo World Congress 2026 still upcoming?
This edition is listed for November 3–5, 2026. Check the organizer's page for changes before booking.
Where can I find the Smart City Expo World Congress exhibitor list?
We have not linked a public exhibitor directory for this edition. Ask the organizer about current directories and attendee access.
Does a company listing confirm who will attend?
A sponsor, exhibitor or speaker listing establishes that published role. It does not establish which employees will attend or whether they are buying. Previous-edition examples remain historical.
How can Emitree help with Smart City Expo World Congress?
We research relevant accounts using public conference sources and any lists you provide. We qualify the accounts against your offer, run agreed outreach and record replies and meetings in your CRM.
