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 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.”
Maija Fournier, Platform Architect (OECD)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)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.
