Talk Title
The Systems of 2030
Abstract
The opening talk of this conference is on sustainability. Two years ago, it would have been seen as a purely political issue.
Why has the past 24 months changed everything? it's not because the tech industry has suddenly turned into a bunch of tree hugging do-gooders - we are as focused on our own risk and reward as we have ever been.
However, since 2020 the switch in behaviour of AWS, Azure, and Google with respect to climate change has been marked. Get onboard or get left behind.
