By: G2Events Inc Sustainability Virtual Summits: Smart ICT virtual conference and exhibition, which will launch online on February 9, 2010, is the first in a series of virtual events focusing on technologies that will dramatically contribute to mitigating the effects of climate change. The conference will harness a powerful collaboration of enterprise, government, NGOs and influencer groups. The virtual exhibition will give participating companies the opportunity to showcase Green ICT solutions, in themed halls and ICT Pavilions that include the “Carbon Efficient Management Software” hall hosted by Connection Research of Sydney, Australia, the “ICT Green” hall hosted by the Telecommunications Industry Association, and the “Smart Grid Pavilion from Telco 2.0”. The Sustainability Virtual Summits don’t just talk about these technological developments – they employ the technologies themselves in the staging of this fully virtual online event. According to Axel Haentjens, Vice President Marketing, Brand & External Communications of Orange Business Services, “Sustainable development is a long term commitment. As a global telecommunications provider, we have a key role to play in helping our customers meet the challenge of environmental responsibility. Orange’ Mark Barounos, President of conference organizer G2Events, said, “We are very excited to welcome the UN Global Compact, Orange, Alcatel-Lucent and TIA as major event supporters. The combination of a leading NGO like the UN Global Compact, enterprise businesses like Orange and Alcatel-Lucent, and an industry association like TIA sets a great example for other multinational companies to get involved in issues that affect the entire planet.” Visit www.SustainabilityVirtualSummits.com to learn more about the events, or to take a demo tour of the virtual event environment. Speaking, sponsoring and exhibiting opportunities at the Sustainability Virtual Summits: Smart ICT event will be similar to those at a physical event, but without the cost and trouble of travel, or the associated greenhouse gas emissions.
