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!
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’s a great place to learn from you peers [...] and it’s great energy to surrounded by people as passionate about the topic as I am”
Venetia FOO, Sustainability Lead (Palo IT)“This was my second year at Green IO and I was so honoured to be on stage for a second year as well and the growth, and bigger stage! gave me goosebumps. I walked away inspired and having learnt things that we’ll be applying to our own digital sustainability projects. But mainly the sense of community that I felt at the conference was incredible and uplifting and it has inspired me to reignite getting more involved in the wider digital sustainability community as well.”
Andri Johnston, Digital Sustainability Lead (Cambridge University Press and Assessment)“I am generally lukewarm on sustainability conferences these days, but one I always recommend is Green IO 🎙️. Why? 1. It is co-located with "mainstream" tech conferences, leading to the cross-pollination that we so desperately need. 2. Gaël DUEZ and team do an excellent job curating a technical yet accessible agenda (https://lnkd.in/gAEzz45W) focused on specific examples of action. 3. This heavily reduces the amount of empty corporate PR presentations.”
