For three years, the Greener Gadgets Conference has explored sustainable alternatives for the electronics we use in our homes and workplace every day. It has served as a forum for discussing green technology solutions for communication, poverty and education across the globe. Examining eco-friendly products and energy efficient gear, the conference shows off the best concepts that will inspire us all to be greener citizens.
The 2010 event, held February 25 in New York City, will be no different, benchmarking plans for an entire green lifestyle beginning in the place you start every day. A panel session entitled “Green Living Begins at Home” will outline how a green home can also be a smart home, whether it’s in an urban or rural location, on or off the grid.
Keynoters will include Yves Behar, founder of the San Francisco design studio, fuseproject, and Robert Fabricant, vice president of creative for frog design inc. Behar’s design studio was responsible for the design of the world’s first $100 “XO” laptop for One Laptop Per Child, a project aimed at bringing education and technology to the world’s poorest children. Fabricant leads frog’s Design for Impact initiatives, which focus on using mobile technologies to increase access to information and accelerate positive behavior change.
The conference closes out with the incredibly popular Greener Gadgets Design Competition, highlighting a new class of sustainable product concepts, from those that create their own energy to those that minimize the need for any electricity at all.
Details on registration, the full conference schedule, and numerous other green resources can be found on the newly updated site.
