An exciting opening session
|
|
This year, the opening session will feature a stand-up debate between our two keynote speakers, Lars Peter Nissen, Director of ACAPS, and Benjamin Lang, an independent responsible digital technology expert. Centered around the theme of the event “Do no harm” in the era of environmental emergency: revisiting Information Management in the aid sector, this introduction session will aim at taking stock of the environmental opportunity and cost that our data systems and approaches represent, to help open the conversation as to what we, as a sector, can and should do to make them more environmentally friendly. Our two speakers, one coming from the aid sector and the other from the world of green tech, will challenge each other on the different dimensions such a topic can take, to help frame the debate for the three days of the event.

This hands-on and creative workshop encourages discussions between participants, and also aims to lay down key solutions to reach more sustainable practices in regards to digital technology.
