Last year over 2200 of your industry peers joined us at the largest, most comprehensive Green IT virtual conference in the world designed to showcase the latest on IT Sustainability, Green IT best practices, and the development of more sustainable technology alternatives. We are all using IT services at an ever-increasing rate, but what does the future hold for Green IT, and what services, new business and technological innovations can we expect in the next few years? In 2013, International Green IT Awareness Week will answer these questions simultaneously from all regions of the world, and share the latest developments, trends and applications that are forwarding the sustainable IT agenda.
International Green IT Awareness Week 2013 International Green IT Awareness Week (1-7 June 2013) brings together the global network of Green IT professionals with thousands of tech journalists, CIOs, CTOs, IT Managers, sustainability professionals, carbon managers and more under one virtual roof. With 30+ live and pre-recorded tactical and practical learning sessions, international keynotes, Q&A panels and more - this is a must attend for those looking for greater sustainability performance and efficiency from their organisation and IT assets. Our panel of leading international speakers will present a series of engaging, pragmatic and thought-provoking conference-style presentations. The aim of the presentations will be to equip attendees with a range of skills and the knowledge necessary to take action on green IT, however big or small. The week of education and action was developed to encourage individuals and organisations to demand more from themselves and their partners, holding each other to account for our impact on the environment. The initiative also aims to encourage those individuals and organisations to bring together their CIO, IT Directors along with their business managers, CFO and COE’s to start the discussion around what their organisation can do to green their IT infrastructure.
