501 Tech NYC: Connect. Learn. Change the world!

Wednesday, October 20, 2010

6 - 7 p.m. Socializing
7 - 8 p.m. Discussion

We all know it's important, but how do you do it! What does Virtualization really mean? How do we enter the Cloud? And what are the affects of your daily work habits on the Environment? Join 501 Tech NYC and Anna Jaeger, Co-Director of the GreenTech Initiative, as we discuss what Green IT really means. Following her presentation, Greening Your Nonprofit's IT: How to Save the Environment and Money, we will unravel the mystery and provide you with simple steps to reducing your nonprofits impact through the effective use of technology.
