The world’s appetite for data is exploding—but so is its environmental cost. Every email sent, file stored, and video streamed requires energy to process, store, and transmit, leaving a growing carbon footprint that’s largely invisible to most businesses. This session lifts the lid on the hidden strain our digital lives place on the planet, exploring the link between data growth and environmental impact. The team at CompressionX will share how innovative approaches to data storage and transfer can drastically cut energy use without compromising performance, you’ll discover practical strategies any organisation can adopt to reduce its digital carbon footprint. The takeaway: sustainability isn’t just about renewable energy or greener infrastructure—it’s about rethinking the way we manage information itself.
