1-7 June 2010 is the inaugural International Green IT Awareness Week. In addition to encouraging individuals and organisations to host their own activities and take action on Green IT, ComputersOff.ORG will host a major virtual event from Tuesday 1 June to Thursday 3 June 2010. The virtual event will be hosted on an extensive online platform that will emulate a ‘real-life’ experience for attendees, speakers and sponsors alike.
Green IT is a goal many businesses aspire to, however, to date it has been implemented inconsistently both within organisations and across the world. Organisations are missing a centralised, cohesive initiative that will enable them to both understand the current research, enabling them to plan for the future; and learn about practical implementation of environmentally sustainable IT practices they can undertake today.
ComputersOFF.ORG wants to shine a spotlight Green IT and pave the way for organisations to initiate, promote and support green IT discussions, enabling employees with the knowledge and innovative ideas to reduce the environmental footprint of the organisation.
International Green IT Awareness Week (1st-7th June 2010) is being developed to encourage organisations during this week to bring together their IT leadership with their business managers, CFO, CEO and corporate environment managers to start the discussion around what their organisation can do to green their IT infrastructure.
On the other side, vendors across the world are working tirelessly to educate organisations on the technology available to assist them with reducing the environmental impact of their IT infrastructure and in turn reducing their carbon footprint and showing their corporate and social responsibility initiatives.
The virtual event will bring both parties together to share knowledge in a centralised and global initiative.
DATES: 1 – 3 June 2010
