  Not just popular buzzwords, today’s enterprises are achieving hard dollar savings through sustainability projects with Cloud computing paving the way for even greater efficiency. What does a future “in the Cloud� mean for sustainability projects today and how should companies prepare for the future? Join business and technology leaders as we collaborate and share experiences on this convergence, what it means for the industry and our own businesses. This session will feature a keynote address by Timothy Chou, author, co-founder at Qenso, Inc., co-founder of Openwater Networks, Inc., a Member of the Board at Blackbaud and a letcurer at Standford University on his thoughts on the future of Green Computing in the Cloud.

  The Sustainability Virtual Summits: Smart ICT virtual conference and exhibition is the first in a series of events focusing on Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) that will dramatically contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change. This conference will harness the powerful collaboration of enterprise, government, NGOs and influencer groups to continue the important discussions that will take place at the Copenhagen Climate Conference. The Sustainability Virtual Summits don’t just talk about these technological developments -- they employ the technologies themselves in the staging of this fully virtual online event. Visit www.SustainabilityVirtualSummits.com to learn more about the events, or to take a demo tour of the virtual event environment. Speaking, sponsoring and exhibiting opportunities at the Sustainability Virtual Summits: Smart ICT event will be similar to those at a physical event, but without the cost and trouble of travel, or the associated greenhouse gas emissions. Registration as an Attendee to the Sustainability Virtual Summits is free of charge. Visit www.SustainabilityVirtualSummits.com and join the event today.
