The web site uses a free hosting service. The organizers probably
choose ".com" as it was cheaper.

The purpose of the conference seems to be networking instead of am
event where there would be a follow-up after the conference.

It might be new for people who are not familiar with the topics.

I gather that you meant the know-how to apply technology to solve the
problems of a city.

In my opinion, we are not currently ready.

I did a search. I could not find that many reports about
connectivity issues affecting consumers. Why should the government
worry about connectivity?
Where is everybody talking about the internet of things?

The events about consumer software or hardware are a very small part
of technology.
