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!
What makes GreenIO special is how it bridges the gap between the technical realm and the climate crisis. As a designer, I was surprised to find myself riveted by even the most esoteric and technical topics. The quality of the speakers and the breadth of content were exceptional.
James Christie, User Experience Director (SustaianbleUX)Green IO New York brought together the forward-thinking and passionate leaders of sustainable computing for two days of knowledge sharing that created valuable new projects and partnerships in digital climate action. It was inspiring.
Susannah Hill, Co-Founder (Cloud Sustainability Watch)“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)“It’s a rare opportunity in Singapore where we get so many Green IT practitioner in one room for the first time”
