Look Up! The Climate Crisis Is REAL: Why the Way We Use Technology Matters

At a time when we are in the process of coming out of a global pandemic crisis and with the risk of a terrible world war, we tend to push aside the real challenge ahead of us in the years to come. On April 14th, join us for the next Converge Thought Leadership Conference.

David suzuki

 

Join us for a LIVE virtual speech by Dr. David Suzuki, an award-winning Scientist, Environmentalist, and Author. 

Dr. Suzuki will open our eyes to the state of the climate crisis today –  and why we must implement solutions NOW.

 

Following Dr. Suzuki, comes a panel discussion on how technology and IT leaders can help facilitate a sustainable future. As an example, discover Dell’s ambitious objectives with Project 

Moonshot 2030: Advancing Sustainability, Cultivating Inclusion, Transforming Lives & Upholding Ethics. Also, how partners like Converge and VMware are actively promoting Software-Defined DataCentre and hyperconverged solutions to reduce datacentre footprint and environmental impact as organizations plan their transition to the Hybrid Cloud.
