Sacramento Chief Information Officer Maria MacGunigal and Chief Innovation Officer Louis Stewart will discuss how the city is embedding innovation in the city and how the region is positioning itself as an innovation hub during a webinar beginning at 10 a.m. Wednesday.

The webinar is being offered by Meeting of the Minds, a nonprofit that seeks to bring together urban sustainability and technology leaders to share knowledge and build lasting alliances. Meeting of the Minds has numerous high-profile corporate sponsors, including Microsoft and Deloitte.

Sacramento recently announced a $100 million partnership with Verizon to make Sacramento the first city in the country with commercially available 5G, which is described as providing "robust broadband infrastructure for a host of new smart city technologies and strategies to be deployed."

Sacramento has embarked on a range of initiatives involving technology including job growth, downtown revitalization, public art, entrepreneurship, marijuana delivery, and the largest downtown core redevelopment in the country (244 acres) at the Railyards on the riverfront.

The webinar is expected to run about an hour, and registration is required

Techwire will be covering the webinar and will have a report in Thursday's edition.
