Green Web Development and Sustainable Datacentres

Welcome to 2022! The internet has been described as "the largest coal-powered machine on the planet", with IT estimated to be responsible for up to 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions - double that of aviation. Nearly 75% of this is from datacentres and networks.

This month we'll explore how to lighten the load of the internet on the planet, and discover more about the skills, tools and opportunities in greener IT. We have two amazing speakers who will be sharing their journey and experience, followed by breakout discussions then general networking.

After what can delicately be called "technical difficulties" with the last meetup (if you were there you know what I mean!), our guests have kindly agreed to give us a second bite of the apple. We hope you'll be able to join us!
