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!
It was a joy to attend Green IO Munich! As a former Green IO guest and someone who has been championing more sustainable tech since 2016, the Green IO conference series embodies everything I have been advocating for. To experience it in person – the community, the passion, the solutions, the inspiring stories of how people are working to make a difference. It embodies what I had hoped to realize in this space, what I imagined it could look like. I am so grateful to Gaël for everything he's done to foster this community
Michael J. Oghia, Partnerships Manager & Co-producer (Datacenter Changemakers)“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)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)“The Green IO conference in Paris this year was highly appreciated for its practical approaches to digital sustainability, grounded in the real-life experiences and shared insights of development teams and architects.”
