Living in the Information Age, we have the world at our fingertips – from research to social media, online shopping, and beyond. With millions of people seeking millions of pieces of information at the same time, the equipment used to pull in and push out all of the data gets hot – literally. Join the Women’s Environmental Network for an evening of networking and a special talk by Dr. Priscilla Johnson on the biggest concerns surrounding data centers and the challenges of managing their energy consumption toward a sustainable future. After the talk, continue networking with WEN members and enjoy drinks at the Perennial (No Host).
