The Buckeye State is an Intelligent State Too!

The 2015 Intelligent Community of the Year will celebrate the anniversaries of its award and its hosting of the 2016 ICF Summit this October. Since it was named Intelligent Community of the Year the city of Columbus has built on its prowess as representative of the rise of the American Midwest. The State of Ohio, inspired by the Intelligent Community movement in Columbus has since produced several Intelligent Communities thanks to the ICF Institute, located in nearby Dublin, Ohio. The Institute has been working with communities in Ohio and around the world to share best practices and accelerate development. All of this comes together this year at the Summit. Lou interviews two people who have been instrumental in bringing the Summit program back to Ohio. You will want to attend! In this edition of The INTELLIGENT Community Interview, ICF Co-Founder Lou Zacharilla speaks with Doug McCollough , Executive Director of The Beta District and Moez Chaabouni , Managing Partner and CEO, Summit Technologies LLC.
