Local government has its own targets to hit. Is your organisation shaping up? Headstar's second annual conference and exhibition on ICT and Sustainability in the Public Sector will cover best practice in environmental sustainability from across the field of public sector ICT, and offer practical advice on drawing up strategies to reduce carbon footprint. Our fantastic speaker line-up includes Caroline Lucas, MEP recently elected as the first ever leader of the Green Party; Catalina McGregor from the Ministry of Defence, one of the key government departments leading on environmental issues; and Chris Head from Socitm Insight, one of the UK's leading experts in the field. Registration normally costs £295 + VAT for public sector workers and £395 + Vat for private sector, but if you register before 17 October you will receive a reduction of £100: http://www.headstar-events.com/techno08/ Best regards, Dan Jellinek Event Chair. ************************************************************************************ Distributed through Cyber-Society-Live [CSL]: CSL is a moderated discussion list made up of people who are interested in the interdisciplinary academic study of Cyber Society in all its manifestations.To join the list please visit: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/cyber-society-live.html *************************************************************************************
