The Conference…

“IT360° Conference & Expo 2008 is an interactive experience for IT professionals and business executives. Faced with the challenge of shrinking budgets and limited time to test or evaluate, IT360° provides a conference of 80+ educational sessions and an informative exposition where professionals can compare applications and solutions while learning first-hand from leading companies and their experts in this immersive arena.”

Green IT…

The conference this year took a good look at what is happening in the GreenIT space

“New this year, the IT Green Feature spotlights green or sustainable information systems and technology programs throughout the industry. An IT Green seminar series will be offered at the conference, and vendors will display green initiatives on the trade show floor. Among the topics addressed at IT360° will be energy efficiencies in servers and data centres, green business leadership, hazardous material reduction, and environmentally responsible IT asset disposal.”

While in attendance we managed to record a couple of sessions to share with you from the GreenIt content stream.

In total there is around 11 hours of recorded audio to be edited (there really won’t be much “editing” of the content, more like open, copy, paste, save, move, repeat…and post to the site) and released here in the next little while.

Until the next one…
