Representatives of companies seeking new locations to set up headquarters, warehousing and distribution sites or research and development centers will be among the attendees of the Super Cities of the 21st Century Conference to be held in Madrid, May 2-5, according to William Rosenthal, president of Norcross-based Conway Data, which is organizing the conference.
Mr. Rosenthal also said in an interview in Conway Data’s offices in Technology Park that other prospective attendees at the conference include representatives of construction and design firms who wish to know of urban initiatives around the world.
And he added that urban leaders involved in planning and economic development would find the conference useful. The mayors of Athens, Barcelona, Lisbon, Madrid, Moscow, Rome and Sao Paulo are among the city officials expected to attend the conference.
