Hosted at the Living Tomorrow centre, a space dedicated to innovation and demonstrating the next generation of home and work living, the EMEA Forum presents the inside view on the latest thinking to create a sustainable and resource efficient IT sector. Key speakers include Svetoslav Mihaylov from the European Commission, Ian Bitterlin, Chair of the Green Grid EMEA Technical Working Group Andre Rouyer, EMEA Liaison for The Green Grid with the European Commission.
Andre Rouyer said: “The Green Grid has been working closely with the European Commission and national governments to help develop a sustainable level of regulation that genuinely steers those using IT to do so in the most resource efficient manner. It is important to realise that the demand for data from every section of society is only going to increase and that it is this that drives the growing demand for resources. The Green Grid has developed works on resource effectiveness but also regulation needs to work to make sure that this demand is managed in the most efficient way.”
The Green Grid EMEA Forum will also examine the latest developments in recycling metrics and emerging international standards – both of which are important areas where the industry can create resource efficiencies.
Attendance at the EMEA Forum 2014 is free of charge to representatives of both member and non-member companies. EMEA Marketing Committee Chair Roel Castelein said: “In line with The Green Grid’s status and mission as a non-profit organisation, and its commitment to promoting an open exchange of ideas and information, registration is free to attend – regardless of whether you or your company are currently members of The Green Grid. The Forum will be a valuable opportunity to network with fellow IT and sustainability professionals and learn more about best practice in a number of key areas of resource-efficient IT.”
Professor Ian Bitterlin, Chair of The Green Grid EMEA Technical Working Group, concluded: “The IT sector is undergoing fundamental change both in the degree to which it effects society at every level and the scrutiny it faces from regulators. The work of the Green Grid is central in the debate about the future of IT and its use of resources and the EMEA Forum will be tackling some of the most important issues facing the industry.
