Highlight One
Smart City and Digital Transformation Masterclass with Joaquim Alvarez
|
|

Delos Delta had an exciting start to 2019 with the delivery of our highly successful and Australia-wide “Digital Transformation Masterclass”. The training was led by Barcelona’s Joaquim Alvarez, whose expertise and knowledge of digital innovation - from dreaming, to implementation and beyond - was not only insightful, but inspirational.
For all who shared in the Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Canberra and Brisbane masterclasses, we hope that Joaquim’s advice and international expertise will help you build your smart city ambitions and lead into the future.

Highlight Five
Local Government Conference WA 2019
|
|
In November 2019, Delos Delta MD, Brook Dixon, travelled to Perth to address the Local Government Professional Network. As a keynote speaker over the three days, Brook spoke about the need for a strategic and organisational approach to get the most from ‘big data’. Brook shared key insights to the forum about moving beyond talk to create the systems, structures and culture that turns data into analysis, decisions, and better performance.
The LGC WA was one of many audiences addressed by Brook this year. Notably, Brook also presented at the Fitness Industry Tech Summit, the LG Professionals NSW Conference, and was interviewed for The Fitness Business Podcast.

Highlight Six
Smart Cities Week
|
|
In November, several members of Delos Delta attended Australia’s pinnacle smart city event for the year: The Smart Cities Week Conference in Sydney. The conference was a terrific opportunity to engage with new ideas and case studies in data collection and usage, smart transformation, and resource management.
Other wins close to home in 2019 have included a fresh new fit out of the Canberra office, and the community and premiership successes of the ANUAFC whom Delos Delta proudly sponsor.

Highlight Seven
Success in Maribyrnong
|
|
In 2019, Maribyrnong City Council have continued to embrace innovation and intelligent city design as part of the Footscray Smart City for Social Cohesion Project, partly funded by the Australian Government’s Smart Cities and Suburbs Program. Delos Delta are proud to be working with Council and OneWiFi to coordinate deployment and operation of a range of smart city technologies, including smart lighting, smart signage, environmental mentoring, wireless networks, traffic monitoring and big data analysis/reporting.
Another exciting collaboration with Maribyrnong in 2019 included Delos Delta delivering the “Innovation & Data: Smarter City, Smarter Business” event in late November. The event was a fantastic opportunity to gain key insights from drivers in the innovation space, and gather inspiration about growing, supporting and transforming businesses. It was another valuable project by Council and Co-Connected – an initiative by LaunchVic.
