The Inaugural GREEN IT SUMMIT

 

The Inaugural GREEN IT SUMMIT will take place on Thursday, April 22nd 2010 at the Croke Park Conference Centre, Dublin.

Ireland’s move to a low-carbon economy is well underway - the country’s third carbon budget delivered a new carbon levy, forming the cornerstone of the country’s transition to a low carbon society.

The forthcoming Climate Change Bill will, for the first time, commit Ireland to a new statutory obligation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% from 1990 levels.

IT can play a pivotal role in reducing carbon emissions. Soaring energy prices have put the focus on Green IT’s ability to deliver reductions in energy costs. There is a growing awareness that Green IT can deliver significant reductions in energy costs as well as enabling improved efficiencies across the enterprise. In fact, cost reduction is the primary driver for Green IT. Gartner is predicting that Green IT will be one of the top 10 technologies that will be strategic for most organisations in 2010.

The inaugural Green IT Summit aims to show how adopting a Green IT strategy in an organisation can unlock huge energy savings, drive operational efficiencies, as well as make a major contribution to the organisation’s CSR credentials.

Brought to you by iQuest - in conjunction with ICT Ireland and the Irish Software Association - the inaugural Green IT Summit is a major conference focusing on how and where you can make green IT deliver business value.

This gathering of experts and peers aims to provide Irish businesses with an improved understanding of how they can go green and save money along the way.
