With the explosive adoption of generative AI, governmental pushbacks against climate policies and the ever-increasing hegemony of tech giants, European actors in IT sustainability face major headwinds. And yet numerous initiatives are blossoming all across the continent to build a more sustainable and resilient digital world. Future-ready enterprises build carbon-aware stacks to strengthen both resilience and FinOps practices. Public services are provided in accessible and low-carbon ways. NGOs are building open-source tools and awareness.
Packed as usual with high-quality talks (latest research, world class use cases, technical deep-dives and more), Green IO Amsterdam 2026 will explore how to best leverage all these green IT initiatives across Amsterdam. Which GreenOps practices to replicate? Which tools to adopt? When should we join forces, and when should we embrace local agility instead?
Green IO Amsterdam will help answer these questions and more, by providing the perfect blend of diverse expertises—from responsible AI, green software, sustainable design, and green cloud technologies to sustainable hardware—and an equally rich mix of perspectives, including practitioners, experts, and academics.
For anyone genuinely trying to blend sustainability and IT practices in Europe, Green IO Amsterdam is THE place to be. Green IO is a platform where global responsible technologists meet, share best practices, support each other, create synergies and collaboration opportunities. Nothing beats human connection to overcome the biggest challenges of our time.
