The IEEE Computer Society (CS) has announced keynotes for its upcoming IEEE SustainTech Leadership Forum, which will be held on August 27-28, 2024 at the Hilton Bayfront in San Diego, California. The forum will explore the latest environmentally friendly technologies to be applied in the built environment, with a particular focus on how artificial intelligence (AI), big data, computer vision, blockchain, and other technologies can be used to support sustainable practices for factories and businesses.
The forum will feature keynotes from some of the largest commercial organizations working towards sustainable practices, including Mitsubishi and Panasonic. Anthony Vetro, President & CEO of Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL), emphasized the importance of sustainability, stating that it is no longer a desirable option but a necessity. He highlighted the opportunity for businesses and manufacturers to contribute significantly to sustainability through innovative practices such as waste reduction and resource efficiency, ultimately creating a better future for people and the planet.
SustainTech will feature prominent engineering leaders as keynotes:
