A half-day event with presentations and a workshop
Our S12Y Workshop is an engaging half-day event scheduled to take place in Barcelona on 11th April 2024. This workshop is designed for digital product makers who are curious about incorporating sustainability practices into their work. The event will be held at the Dynatrace Office in the Torre Glòries.
With this event, we aim to broaden the sphere of individuals and organizations implementing sustainability practices in their digital products. With our main track, we provide an introduction to attendees new to the space, educating them on the challenges and opportunities within digital sustainability. For those already knowledgeable in the field, we create a platform (our workshop track) for exchanging ideas, discussing best practices, and posing new questions for which solutions are needed.
We'll start our event with lunch, will break into two track and conclude with a community gathering with drinks and food to foster networking and further discussion.

Opening & Arrival
Opening & Welcome by Max
Why do we need to take action?
1. Making digital products good or sustainable requires us to embed values in them
2. Digital products create environmental and social impact for which we need to take responsibility
3. Quantifying our shared impact requires transparency from all of us
Introduction to the program of today
1. If you are new to this: Stay on Track 1 and we give you an overview of the issues we know about today and hope to inspire & empower you to understand, measure and take action
2. If you’ve dove in before and you want to go straight to sharing your experience and debating best practice we have an interactive workshop for you
Break into the 2 Tracks
Introduction into good digital products (Part 1)
1. So what’s ‘good’ about? Is it about climate change, about sustainability or values? What are we talking about!?
2. OK, and now what’s the problem? Is it about energy use, about phones or the business models? Isn’t all digitalization, tech & innovation good for people?
3. Now I get it, but now what do we do about it? Aren’t there people working on this already?
Break: Coffee, Tea and Snacks
4. Okay, I’m with you - where we do start?
Facts, understanding and action!
5. Case Study: Show me someone who did it and how they benefitted?
6. So, what’s next?
Community Gathering: Drinks & light bites
Workshop 1
1. Share your experiences with sustainability & digital products - what are the barriers to adoption & action?
2. Case studies - do you have success stories to talk about or progress you want to share?
Break: Coffee, Tea and Snacks
Workshop 2
1. Debating best practice and co-creating a board of best practice by discipline (design & requirement, development, deployment, operation)
