Achieve Operational Efficiency & ESG Goals with Green IT
January 26 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Jane Parkinson,
Award-winning Wine Expert
C-LEVEL NETWORKING AGENDA
Chief Wine Officer and Pure Storage are bringing together a select group of senior IT, Engineering, and Sustainability leaders in the UK – and you’re invited! You’ll be joined by Mike Roan, EMEA Senior Director of Systems Engineering at Pure Storage, to discuss sustainability in digital business, and how transformation and ESG can aid, not hamper, each other. You’ll also have the pleasure of being led on a world-class wine tasting by award-winning Wine Expert, Jane Parkinson, all from the comfort of your own home.
When modernising, enterprise IT functions typically must balance improving operational efficiency and delivering cost savings with their need to cut down energy consumption and environmental impact. It can often mean compromise. It doesn’t have to. With Mike, you and your senior IT peers will talk through how sustainability, agility, scalability, and security can coexist to help you achieve your business and ESG goals simultaneously.
KEY DISCUSSION POINTS
- Case studies of real-life sustainable modernisation success, like one organisation that reduced its data storage power consumption by 85%
- How digital organisations can tackle the environmental emergency and overcome challenges presented by their environmental footprint
- How the public cloud consumption model can help with reducing IT environmental footprint in a true Hybrid-Cloud world
That’s not all you can expect. No CWO event is complete without our signature wine tasting challenge. After taking you through your tasting experience, Jane Parkinson will quiz you all to determine who stands alone as the event’s Chief Wine Officer – the best taster in the room. Don’t miss out!
This exclusive networking experience is open to just 10 IT, Engineering, and Sustainability leaders from organisations throughout the UK. Places are limited and highly popular – secure yours today!

Excellent…love the format. Two hours went so fast, and the discussion was excellent!
The event was well orchestrated, informational, and a great way to network with a group of peers and sponsors. Really fun setup and enjoyed the open dialogue.
It was probably one of the best virtual events I’ve had. Loved how business chatter was broken up by great wine tastings. Thank you all!
