An excellent use of two days that were packed with information and topical issues, great value for money - JS, O2 delegate at Inform Telecoms & Media's previous Telecoms and the Environment conference.

“I’d like to extend my thanks to the Informa team for hosting the Global Green Telecom Summit in Berlin during November 2008. It was exciting to be part of a likeminded group of Mobile Network Operators, Network Equipment Providers and Vendors wishing to drive environmental sustainability whilst reducing the total cost of ownership in mobile networks. We made a number of significant new contacts whilst increasing our understanding of industry drivers for renewable power. I’m looking forward to the next event with anticipation!” - Ivan Harris Chief Operating Officer, PowerOasis.

The conference is an eye opener. There is a need for more awareness on this issue

As telecoms traffic increases, the impact of the telecoms industry on the environment is magnified. Consumers are demanding more advanced and power-hungry services. It is ever more important therefore that the industry addresses and attempts to limit its energy consumption and enhances its focus on corporate social responsibility.

The telecoms industry is not only looking to reduce power consumption in its own networks, but also to improve the carbon footprint across the economy. The ICT sector has the capacity to be a key enabler in enhancing energy efficiency throughout society and these are all major themes covered at the 2nd Annual Green Telecom Summit 2009. Featuring over 40 industry experts and the unique opportunity to learn, network and do business with over 200 C-level attendees with a desire to protect the environment while retaining a competitive edge; the Global Green Telecom Summit will equip you with all the necessary information to develop your green strategy, minimise energy consumption and improve your carbon footprint.
