Michael Moomaw, Smarter Cities Architect at IBM will speak about “Building Smarter Cities with Analytics and Open Data” at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
Moomaw’s talk, hosted by JSC’s Safety and Mission Assurance Directorate and SAIC, is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. CDT Wednesday, March 11, in Johnson Space Center’s Gilruth Center Ballroom.
