BCS Autumn School - Environmental Awareness for IT Managers November 4, 2009

Our Autumn School should be of immediate interest to anyone who has responsibility within IT, for managing, specifying, designing, procuring, recommending, setting policy, or running projects. With new legislation coming into effect early in 2010, that will affect every IT service provider and installation down to the size of a small Local Council, BCS Bristol have brought this School forward to the Autumn, so that you can understand not only how to comply with your new responsibilities, but just as importantly, how to save your organization money!

Wed 4th Nov. The Environmental Context Zahl Limbuwala
This session will set the scene and introduce participants to the importance of the green IT agenda, emphasising the environmental issues associated with managing IT projects in the context of climate change, carbon management and carbon footprints, energy costs, regulatory requirements, and corporate social responsibility:

Wed 11th Nov. Modelling and Applying Sustainability Ted Shann
