Cali will host Smart City Expo Cali 2026 on Sept 30 and Oct 1 at the Centro de Eventos Valle del Pacífico, under the motto 'Bio-intelligent cities: innovation for life', with more than 3,000 attendees expected and confirmed interest from delegations in Latin America, the Philippines and Zimbabwe.[^1]

The city was selected for the international urban innovation event in recognition of its investments in innovation, economic development, sustainability and quality of life. Those investments include predictive models for landslides, artificial intelligence applied to health, platforms to protect wildlife, urban tree management systems and public transparency tools.[^2]

The expo comes after the Aug 10 earthquake that the city says tested its smart-city approach of using technology, data and coordination to respond and recover.[^3]
