Join us for the next in the North-East  IT Leadership Club series, organised by The Robert Gordon University in association with ScotlandIS, Head Resourcing and McGrigors.

The speaker, Mary Vincent,  is one of the world’s leading experts on green IT innovation.  She'll explore the challenges and opportunities of the case for Green IT,  Data Centre Case Studies, and IT Innovation Methodologies.

Ian Allison, Head of the School of Computing at Robert Gordon University, comments: “We are delighted to welcome Mary to our shores. When you consider that Google handles something like 200 million searches daily, and some say just a couple of these generate as much energy as it takes to boil a kettle, the issue of green IT suddenly becomes a pressing matter. Research suggests that the IT industry generates as much greenhouse gas as the world’s airlines!”
