Driving ESG from IT
Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, but an environmental, economic and social driver that’s changing our day to day lives. This has been reflected by the business community, in which committing to sustainable practices is no longer a “nice to have” but a “must do”, driven by several business factors, among them cost efficiencies, access to funding and regulations being the most prominent.

The personal dinner events take place in the following cities: Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Brussels, and Amsterdam.
Joining a dinner event offers an excellent opportunity to meet and connect with other senior business decision-makers and have some great conversations about a specific topic of your professional interest. The event will be facilitated by one of our IDC Research Directors, who will present new IDC data and insights and facilitate the discussion during the evening, typically at a five star restaurant from 17.00-21.30 on a weekday.
If you are interested in being invited to our dinner events, please email IDC Conference Director, Camilla Hove Toft at chovetoft@idc.com or Sales Director, Peer Jensen at pjensen@idc.com if you would like to sponsor one of them.
