Over half the world’s population is now online as consumers continue to embrace the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality, and other emerging technologies.

There are currently 2 billion smartphones in use around the globe; by 2020, it is estimated that there will be at least seven devices per person on the planet.

Meanwhile, companies continue to migrate business processes online at breakneck speed. In fact, 90 percent of all data was created within the last 12 months.

Knowing these things, we have to ask,
“What is the impact of our data?”

With electricity needs that rival a country the size of Germany, the Internet has a larger environmental footprint than that of the global airline industry and will continue to grow as more of the world’s population gets online.

What’s more, the materials used to create our devices are embroiled in conflict: slavery, smuggling, and massive environmental damage from mining conflict minerals perpetuate major problems around the globe.

Plus …. The “built-in obsolescence” of those devices produces staggering amounts of e-waste.

What can we do about this?

When it comes to the Internet, people-friendly is also typically planet-friendly. 560,000 agencies around the world make hosting, UX, and design decisions on behalf of their clients every day.

These decisions directly impact Internet sustainability. Tim Frick outlines a design framework for creating more sustainable digital products and services while still meeting business and marketing goals.

Tim explains why sustainable practices will be increasingly important as the Internet continues its rapid growth and explores how organizations large and small are already taking steps toward building a cleaner, greener Internet.

You’ll walk away with simple tactics you can use to make your own digital products and services more sustainable.

Presenter: Tim Frick (LinkedIn profile) is the founder of Mightybytes, an Illinois-based company that is committed to solving social and environmental problems with its work and is a leader in sustainable web design. Tim is the author of four books on media and marketing, including the forthcoming Designing for Sustainability: A Guide to Building Greener Digital Productsand Services, two editions of Return on Engagement: Content Strategy and Web Design Techniques for Digital Marketing, and Managing Interactive Media Projects. Tim’s books are used as texts in post secondary institutions and Tim is  board president of Climate Ride, a nonprofit offering charity endurance events to raise money for environmental causes that to date has raised over $3.2 million. Tim is also a well regarded keynote speaker at conferences and offers workshops on various aspects of marketing, design, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.

Join Tom McGraw (LinkedIn profile) as he discusses how PMI® has implemented some extensive changes to their Continuing Certification Requirements (CCR) program.

The distribution of required PDUs between Education and Giving Back has been changed to place more emphasis on education and reduce the number of credits that may come from working as a professional. PMI has created the Talent Triangle, which outlines a balance of skill areas ideal for long-term project and business success.

With this new structure, many requirements for certification renewal have changed – meaning you may need to know how you’re affected by this.

This 1-hour web seminar discuses the recent changes and what it means for you. This web seminar will be 50% explanation of the new Talent Triangle and 50% question and answer and real-world discussion
