-- April 29th San Francisco

From the entrepreneurs that make up the backbone of America's innovation economy to the leaders of forward-thinking U.S. utilities to the investors that funded the Internet revolution, our speakers at Green:Net 2010 will be focused on one thing: how the Internet and IT can be leveraged to save the planet. At the same time, attendees will learn how to create huge new technology markets and spearhead the green economy.  

We are proud to welcome 2010 California Gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown and leading technology and Greentech investor Vinod Khosla as speakers to Green:Net 2010.  Join them on April 29th in San Francisco.
 
What is Green:Net?

Green:Net is where green and IT meet. While alternative energy gets a lot of attention at most green conferences, only the The GigaOM Network’s Green:Net offers a specific point of view on how the computing and Internet technologies will provide the tools needed to fight climate change. Don't miss the green conference for the Internet industry. 

To preserve our future, we have to reduce emissions and energy in the most efficient way possible. To that end, we need to measure, make use of and share an unprecedented amount of data -- tasks for which the computers and networks that form the global fabric of the Internet and communication networks are ideally suited. Following a sold-out first-year event, we're proud to once again be gathering together the brightest minds, ideas and entrepreneurs for Green:Net 2010. There, attendees will find out what new opportunities -- from web sites and smart networked vehicles to green data centers and smart energy grids -- are being created by the tech elite.

• Jerry Brown, California Attorney General and Gubernatorial Candidate
  
  
• Vinod Khosla, Founder, Khosla Ventures
