NET ZERO TECH

Computing, CRN and Channel Partner Insight present NET ZERO TECH! 

A launch event collaboration between Computing, CRN and CPI, Net Zero Tech will bring together end users, channel partners and tech vendors to discuss the latest trends and best practises for moving towards Net Zero targets.

Underpinned by research from the three brands showing how sustainability can be measured, with an overview of our findings from research into cloud vendors and channel partners, the event will deliver tangible value to all audiences.

Besides research presentations there'll be a mix of presentations and panel sessions, with a well-known speaker giving a keynote to ensure the necessary audience 'pull'.

And to truly set the event apart there'll also be an evening drinks reception at a Central London location for sponsors and delegates to mingle and network.
