Green Computing Information Day

Hyatt Regency Crystal City at Reagan National Airport


March 23rd - Washington, DC

| Register | Agenda | Hotel |

Formed in 2008 by a group of Global-minded IT executives, Green Computing Impact Organization (GCIO) was created to be an active participant in transforming the enterprise business community from an environmental liability to an Earth conscious example of responsibility. We do so through our collaborative membership programs and initiatives which bring together enterprise business and IT executives, visionaries, pundits, authorities and practitioners all with a vested interest in the promotion and adoption of sustainable business practices.

The Government Technology Research Alliance (GTRA), contributing partner of GCIO, provides government leaders a forum to collaborate, strategize and create innovative solutions for today's most pressing IT needs. The research used to drive curriculum for all GTRA initiatives is grounded in the knowledge gleaned from the GTRA Council. GTRA's Council consists of over 70 well-respected government executives who specialize in Enterprise Architecture, Security, Technology, Leadership, Defense, Health IT, Workforce Management and Green IT.

As a community our members and sponsors provide the foundational information a company needs to make business sustaining and environmentally responsible decisions and directions. We work with all facets of industry and government operations as well as educational institutions and complimentary non-profit agencies.
