Great hopes have been placed in IT and Digital Technologies to support our transition towards a low-carbon economy, but the digital sector itself emits as many greenhouse gases as the world's entire road freight. Let's make sure we clean our own house while helping to make the world a better place!
“There are few opportunities to compare our greentech practices with those of our colleagues and to get moving. Green IO Paris allowed us to mobilize a small Product and Engineering collective at leboncoin during the Sustainable Challenge to experiment on our platform with eco-design or optimization gestures for our product, but also to raise awareness among curious people during the conference."
Guillaume Grillat, Lead Tech Community Advocate (LeBonCoin)“I’m not new to sustainability, yet I am fairly new to finding like-minded people to talk to about it. My entry points were my local Green Software and GreenSEO meetup groups. So, coming to Green IO, I knew there were some good speakers, but I didn’t know what to expect in terms of vibe. How brilliantly surprised I was! This is not your standard corporate sales-fest; Green IO is the real deal. A conference full of people doing work they care about for the good of the planet – I’ve found my clan and I’ll be back!”
Fiona MacNeill, Director - UX (Research & Strategy, Macknowlogist)The GreenIO conference in NYC was an important reminder for us that technology is not just about growth at all cost. I got a lot of useful insights from the sessions on all aspects of digital sustainability, including indepth case study from employees at leading companies, and many great face to face interactions with sustainability leaders during the social events.
Pascal Joly, Founder, IT Climate Ed“It was a blast! Thanks again Gaël & team for gathering such a positive & optimistic bunch of responsible technologists 💚”
