Green:Net by Earth2Tech

Where Green and Networks Meet

Green:Net is a one-day conference examining how the tools created in the Internet, computing and IT revolutions will be crucial for fighting climate change.

Learn how software, the web and communication networks will help companies shape the future of our electrical system, deliver transportation infrastructure, create social movements and help both companies and regular folks reduce carbon emissions. Chips and broadband delivered the personal computing and Internet booms — now see how those technologies will help save the planet.

Whether you’re in a corporation looking to learn about best Green IT practices or you’re an entrepreneur looking for your next venture, Green:Net in San Francisco is a must-attend event that will allow you to take away the best ideas, contacts and thinkers in this space.
