While the lower costs and environmental benefits associated with
greener IT have long been proven, power consumption by the world's data
centers has doubled since 2000 and continues to grow. What's more, this
doesn't consider the footprint of technology outside the data center.
So what are world-class CIOs and their teams doing to curb power
consumption, environmental danger, and ongoing costs? How are early
adopters of green IT philosophies creating and managing their green IT
game plan? And what regulatory requirements are moving the conversation
beyond social responsibility to required action?

The answers are at Computerworld's Green IT Symposium, where
world-class IT leaders will examine the issues, and share best
practices in reducing their IT organization's carbon footprint. Whether
your priorities are to lower costs, comply with regulations, outline a
green IT strategy for your entire organization, or to simply find out
why 80% of IT executives say green IT is of growing importance to their
organization, Computerworld's Green IT Symposium will help.
