SDIA Green Coding Summit 2023

Green Coding & Software: The Path to a Sustainable Digital Future

In an era where digitalization is rapidly transforming every facet of our lives, the environmental impact of software development has become a topic of paramount importance. As we stand on the brink of a new digital age, the Sustainable Digital Infrastructure Alliance (SDIA) is proud to present the Green Coding Summit 2023. This event, scheduled for the 23rd and 24th of November in the iconic Französischer Dom in Berlin, aims to bring together the brightest minds in the realm of green coding and sustainable software development.

Why Green Coding Matters

The software community is becoming increasingly aware of the environmental footprint left by their creations. As we continue to rely heavily on digital products and services for our economic and societal growth, the need for green coding becomes even more pressing. The question arises: What happens if the vast majority of software continues to be developed without considering its environmental impact? The answer lies in understanding the potential future repercussions for society, the environment, and the potential rebound effects.

The Vision of the Summit

The Green Coding Summit 2023 is not just another event; it's a movement. The vision is to collaboratively create an Annual Green Coding Roadmap, supported by quarterly community summits. This roadmap will focus on:

• Establishing a clear regulatory framework and highlighting the benefits for coders.
• Disseminating knowledge on how to measure and report the environmental impact of software.
• Sharing best practices that have been tested in real-world scenarios to reduce the environmental footprint across various architectures, frameworks, and platforms.

What Awaits You at the Summit

1. Deep-Dive Workshops: Roll up your sleeves and dive deep into the world of green coding with organizations like Green Coding Berlin, The Green Web Foundation, and Boavizta. These workshops will provide hands-on experience with tools and best practices, allowing participants to measure the environmental impact of their software projects and understand how to improve them.
2. Knowledge Expansion: Learn from international thought leaders about their insights, experiences, and real-world applications in green coding. The main conference will explore the essence of green coding, its true environmental impact, and the future implications.
3. Networking Opportunities: This is a golden opportunity to connect with the Green & Sustainable Software communities. Meet and engage with maintainers, contributors, researchers, and other stakeholders.
4. Bootcamp Deep Dives: Join leading European green coding experts in intensive bootcamp sessions. These sessions aim to empower software developers to measure and improve the environmental footprint of their software, leading to the creation of more sustainable digital products and services.

Be Part of the Change

The SDIA Green Coding Summit 2023 is more than just a conference; it's a call to action.
