Is there a black-and-white blueprint for the future?
Global warming, climate change, time’s running out. At last we’re much more focused on Green issues – in the news at least. And IT has a major role to play in helping to shape our future, and the future shape of our home planet.
At this event we’ll consider views on green issues and ideas such as reducing carbon footprints, increasing mobile computing, using energy-efficient hardware and networks, developing virtual computing, recycling unwanted PCs, printing less paper copies of electronic information.
‘Is the key not just to invest in green products, but to be more efficient -and more coordinated?’
Is a multi-faceted approach needed for effects on the environment to be felt? Does the design of technology and organisations need to change? Where
are we now, and what do we need to do to accelerate change? Do we need to be more lean and mean about green? And more coordinated, locally, nationally,
globally? Come to hear more and to share your views.Our expert presenters include:
- STEVE BOWDEN Chief Technology Officer – Green Computing, IBM
- CHRIS GABRIEL Senior Marketing Director, Logicalis UK
- UNA DU NOYER Vice President, Capgemini UK PLC
