Speakers & Topics
Adriana Ignat (Founder, VEKT AI)
The Responsible AI Product Mindset: Driving Value Through Data Minimisation
Adriana, an ex-Google Product Management executive and founder of VEKT AI, will challenge the "more data is always better" assumption for AI. She'll introduce mindsets and frameworks for Product Managers and engineers to define the minimum viable data set (MVD) required to achieve a product's core value. Learn how excessive data is a security, compliance, and massive environmental liability, and how to successfully guide your teams toward building more responsible and sustainable AI.

Leah Schwartz and Niall Hunt (Toast)
Green Product Thinking
When talking about green software, we often focus on reducing energy spend and carbon impact. But what if we’re missing the environmental impact that comes from the products we build? This talk will demonstrate how integrating sustainable features into existing products, like Toast's Food Waste Tracker and Packaging Preferences tools, can help customers adopt greener habits at scale.

John Behan (Founder, Thrive 2050 & Green Software Ireland)
Key Takeaways from Green I/O Conference London
John will share the most critical insights from the recent Green I/O Conference in London. This talk will cover crucial topics like the use of data to support responsible and sustainable use of tech, climate change and IT risk, thinking outside the rack, global strategies to the power and water demands of data centres.
