What is Green:Net?
Green:Net is where green and IT meet. While alternative energy gets a lot of attention at most green conferences, only the The GigaOM Network’s Green:Net offers a specific point of view on how the computing and Internet technologies will provide the tools needed to fight climate change. Don't miss the green conference for the Internet industry.
To preserve our future, we have to reduce emissions and energy in the most efficient way possible. To that end, we need to measure, make use of and share an unprecedented amount of data -- tasks for which the computers and networks that form the global fabric of the Internet and communication networks are ideally suited. Following a sold-out first-year event, we're proud to once again be gathering together the brightest minds, ideas and entrepreneurs for Green:Net 2010. There, attendees will find out what new opportunities -- from web sites and smart networked vehicles to green data centers and smart energy grids -- are being created by the tech elite.
