Welcome to Energy Camp @Interop — an unconference dedicated to the reduction of information technology’s global carbon footprint, to be held September 16, 2008 in New York City’s Javits Convention Center.
Whether you’re an end user of technology, an IT professional, a vendor of hardware, software or infrastructure solutions, or an industry observer with an interest in technology’s energy consumption, Energy Camp is for you. Energy Camp is a collaborative forum where industry stakeholders will gather together to discuss the growing impact of today’s energy costs on IT’s bottom line, and the overarching importance of energy conservation and utilizing greener IT solutions and methods.
Step 1.
The date (September 16, 2008) and location (Javits Convention Center, in New York City) are set for Energy Camp. If you’ve never been to one of our unconferences before, check out this Quicktime video from our other event, Startup Camp (RealPlayer version). Still interested? Go to Step #2.
Step 2.
Want practical advice on how to save your company money and become more energy efficient? Have something to add to the larger conversation about reducing IT’s global carbon footprint? Then you should register for Energy Camp! Once you’ve registered, go to Step #3.
Step 3.
Keep an eye on the discussion proposals to see what topics have been added and, in the event that you’ve added a topic, to see if anyone has commented on it. Also, point your RSS reader at the XML feed for the Energy Camp Wiki to watch for any changes or additions by the organizers or your fellow campers!
A major tenet of unconferences is that the sum of the expertise of the people in the audience is greater than the sum of expertise of the people on stage. With this in mind, Energy Camp is pleased to provide “Ways to Save the Earth”, an interactive wiki page based on the wisdom of the crowd.
Whether it’s an idea about how to run more efficient data centers, reduce the carbon footprint of your own PC, or be a more efficient recycler, it needs to be shared with the world. That’s what the “Ways to Save the Earth” wiki page is for. By making this wiki available to everyone with a stake in the earth’s sustainability, we can all do our little part (or big part) to make a difference. We hope you’ll join us!
