Data Centre Roundtable #1 with AVEVA and Jones Day: Managing Data Centre Resource Consumption

​Seeking expressions of interest from senior (c-suite, director-level) individuals for this ~20-person roundtable. Spots are limited so an early RSVP is recommended.

​Data centres are one of the fastest-growing sources of electricity demand.

​Hosted by Lisa Wee, CSO at AVEVA and Michelle Davies, Partner at Jones Day.

​Most of the debate is about building enough power and grid to keep up. This roundtable starts somewhere else: how much of that demand can be avoided in the first place.

​Software, innovation in equipment, energy management techniques and on-site power generation are already used to mitigate data centres’ impact on natural resources; but these tools are not yet standard practice.

​This roundtable unites operators, engineers and tech providers to share best practices and identify actions to deploy these techniques at scale.

​Featuring:

• ​Google, Director of Sustainability

• ​Futerra, CEO

• ​Accenture, Managing Director & Global Sustainability Lead

• ​KPMG, Global Head of Renewable Energy

• ​WBCSD, Executive Vice President

• ​WRI, Global Lead

​Linked in with Data Centre Senior Roundtable #2 hosted AVEVA and Jones Day, on Thursday 12 November 1330-1430.
