NEW YORK-- Interop, a business technology event, produced by TechWeb, today announced a keynote speaker for its Energy Camp unconference at Interop New York 2008.
IBM's Gennaro (Jerry) Cuomo will launch this one-day, all-day program.
The positive response from attendees at Interop Las Vegas 2008 led to bringing Energy Camp to the 2008 New York event. Energy Camp at Interop takes place at the Javits Convention Center in New York, September 16, 2008.
Cuomo is an IBM Fellow, VP and CTO for the WebSphere brand of products. He is one of the founding fathers of WebSphere and has spent 20 years at IBM in between the IBM Research and Software Groups. Cuomo will kick-off Energy Camp -- a collaborative "unconference" dedicated to the reduction of IT's global carbon footprint. Audiences are invited to join this forum where industry stakeholders will gather together to discuss the growing impact of today's energy costs on IT's bottom line, and the overarching importance of energy conservation and utilizing greener IT solutions and methods.
Following IBM's keynote address, the program will be led by James Governor. Governor is co-founder and principal analyst of RedMonk and
author of the Greenmonk.net blog, a community dedicated to the use of open source and social software to improve the environment and encourage good behaviors. Sample discussions at the previous Energy Camp included "Best Practices For Equating 'Green IT' to Cost Savings, "'Are Companies Ready to Consider Some 'Crazy' Ideas to Improve Data Center Energy Efficiency?," "Best Practices for Recycling and Refurbing Electronics," and more.
