Join us to hear directly from city leaders about how they are using data to boost revenue collection and improve service delivery. Our Director @iBaino will be on the panel to discuss the technical and strategic roadmap for these transformations. 🗓️ 30 April 2026 ⏰ 3PM 📍 Live on Zoom, YouTube & X 👉 Register here: tinyurl.com/2fv82ydz #SunbirdAI #DataCities #SmartCities #EvidenceBasedGovernace #AIForSocialGood
