This year, the Smart Buildings for Smart Cities Summer Universities (UESB4SC) – Europe's pre-eminent event for smart building stakeholders – will be held, not in Lyon, but in Brussels' SQUARE Convention Centre! The Brussels and Flemish Brabant Construction Confederation has joined forces with France's Smart Buildings Alliance (SBA) to organise the sixth edition of this prestigious international conference in the very heart of Europe!
 
More than 1,500 European industry stakeholders are expected to attend, including public authorities, administrations, real estate developers and investors, construction companies, architects, engineering and design offices, insurance companies, system integrators, installers, software companies, telecoms operators, energy companies, consulting firms, facility managers and manufacturers.

Visitors to the SB4SC Summer Universities on 4 and 5 September will be able to consider and learn about the development of smart building usage in sustainable cities through interactions, discussions and exchanges. This year's event will be introduced by Brussels Mayor Philippe Close.
