As an InCommon Catalyst and active contributor within the community, TechEX is one of our favorite conferences. We are honored that we get the opportunity to attend this year to catch up with peers in research and education; meet new friends in trust and identity; and gain valuable insights from the stellar track sessions. Thank you to the organizers, volunteers, speakers, hotel staff, and everyone else who make this event special for all.

Many of our universities already have climate commitments, centers for sustainability, and large infrastructure projects that include plans to reduce the university’s carbon footprint. It’s easy to feel like our individual role is too small to make a difference.
However, as stewards of cloud and on-premises infrastructures, your everyday choices have a direct impact on environmental sustainability. During this talk, we’ll provide some key principles to guide your decision-making process, guided by real-world examples that serve as inspiration for how you can make a difference.
Join us to learn about the small changes you can make that can have big positive environmental changes. Not only can they be good for the environment, they can be really good for your career, too. Despite the somewhat limited information on how academic institutions are grappling with these challenges, we hope that you can take some of the lessons from this talk, apply them to your day-to-day decisions, and make choices that are simultaneously good for your institution and the environment.
