At 'Building the Sustainable Cloud' we will explore we can use FinOps and GreenOps strategies to prevent the rapid growth of cloud and Gen AI from disrupting electricity and water supplies, damaging our environment with excessive greenhouse gases and threatening all our futures.

The event will feature Special Interest Sessions looking at different aspects of the challenges we face and how technology can either solve these problems or make them worse.

As usual, we will feature 'Lightning Talks' from authoritative speakers, proposing ways in which we can act now to get the best value from cloud technology, for our organisations and for our populations around the world.

The event will conclude with interactive sessions where attendees can get more detail on the topics of greatest interest to them, and network with others who share similar interests.
