The environment is on the agenda - but is it on yours?
The Australian (July 17, 2007) reported that 27% of organisations surveyed across the nation have sustainability programs in place and a further 21% expect to launch green programs in the next 12 months.
Want to know the what, where and how of an IT sustainability program for your IT facilities?
UniSA's School of Computer and Information Science, with the sponsorship of EDS, Microsoft, the SA Department of Further Education, Science and Technology and Zero Waste South Australia will show you just how important and easy it is to do your part for the planet.
What will be discussed:
- How you can safely and economically recycle and dispose of IT waste
- How to green your IT operations; covering everything from the desktop to the computer room
- How IT is being used to provide state of the art environmental management
The program includes a keynote address by Ian Kiernan AO, OAM, Chair of Clean Up Australia and Clean Up The World, coffee on arrival, lunch, afternoon tea and drinks at the end of the day, as well as 12 presentations from leading and local interstate experts.
