April 29: Save the date. That’s when we’re holding our second annual Green:Net conference in San Francisco — the only event focused on how software, computing and networks will fight climate change. And we just wanted to let you know that tomorrow, Friday, is the last day to buy the Super Saver Ticket special, which will save you $100 off the full price ticket (buy tickets here). Why wait to buy?
I am very excited about this year’s speaker line up. Here’s some speakers you have to look forward to:
- Steve Jurvetson, Managing Director, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, was a web pioneer backing companies like Hotmail and has emerged as a leading greentech investor backing companies like Tesla and Synthetic Genomics. What’s his vision for a greentech future with his IT past?
- I’ll be interviewing the executives in charge of Google and Microsoft‘s Internet-based energy initiatives — Microsoft’s Product Unit Manager of Hohm Troy Batterberry and Google’s Program Manager in Advanced Projects and PowerMeter Ed Lu.
- On our smart grid panel we’ll discuss the future of the digital power grid with Silver Spring Networks EVP Eric Dresselhuys, and Cisco‘s SVP and GM, Smart Grid, Laura Ipsen.
- We’ll hear how a Texas utility plans to get ready for the coming onslaught of electric vehicles, from Jason Few, President of Reliant Energy.
- Google’s got one of the most innovative energy efficient data center and server strategies around. Learn about Google Green Energy Czar Bil Weihl‘s strategies.
- Bill Gross, the founder and Chairman of incubator Idealab, will teach us how smart algorithms and computing power will deliver low cost solar.
And much, much more, including carbon software, how the web leads to dematerialization (exchanging atoms for bits), investing in the intersection of greentech and IT, and how policy will make all of this happen.
