David Stefanowicz, Technical Manager ECA ITEC Making Your IT System Greener
David will be presenting a wide range of practical techniques and policies which could help to reduce IT energy consumption including ‘The EU Code of Conduct on Data Centres Energy Efficiency’, the ‘Energy Star’ ,the IEEE ‘Energy Efficient Ethernet Standard’ and considers the green credentials of PoE+ or IEEE Standard 802.3at.
Andrew Stevens MIET, CEO CNet Training Data Centre Assets – People are the Real Asset
It is people that deploy technology and not technology that deploys people. The responsibility for the efficiency, cost effectiveness and availability of a data centre lies firmly with people. Andrew will be discussing whether or not we spend enough time on ensuring that our key asset (the people) are fit for purpose.
Rob Cardigan, Senior Product Manager, Nexans New Standards for Energy Efficiency Enablement : EN50600 New standards in the EN50600 series are being developed to support the installation of infrastructures to measure, monitor and direct the energy consumption of information technology equipment, power distribution and environmental control systems in data centres. Rob Cardigan leads the UK activity to support development of these standards and will report on the progress and scheduling of the work.
Andrew Jones, Alquist Consulting
Beyond the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme – Why Energy Reduction will Become Critical for Data Centres The new UK Government has made drastic changes to the UK’s CRC Energy Efficiency legislation forcing data centres to monitor and reduce their energy consumption. Andrew’s presentation will look at the current energy legislation, show the ‘Energy Generation Gap’ that will occur in 2015 and share techniques that can be used to monitor and reduce energy consumption.
Mike Gilmore, Technical Director, FIA The Future of Cabling – Beyond Category 7A and OM4 The highest performance cabling specification in North American standards is currently Category 6A. The rest of the world has components of Categories 7 and 7A together with the associated cabling specification of Classes F and FA. The TIA has an agreed project to cover ‘Cabling for next generation applications’ but what will this lead to?
John Berney, CIO + Demonstrating Value from IT All too often IT departments are questioned by the Board to prove that they are providing a value for money service. It’s all about acting like a businessman and John will demonstrate, with plenty of examples, exactly what that means and especially how it applies to IT. If you are looking to take the next step up, don’t miss it.
John Kellow, John Kellow Associates Is Cheap Always Cheerful? – A Critical Look at the Budget End of the Data Cabling Market Financial constraints have precipitated a surge in the market for the ‘value-line’ cabling brands being offered by top manufacturers, distributors and electrical stores. With significantly lower prices than the top brands, these systems seem to offer cash-strapped end-users the perfect solution, but with dire warnings about counterfeit and non-compliant products, how cautious should the budget-conscious buyer be?
Ed Gibson, Global Cyber Security Chief, Price Waterhouse Coopers Who Do You Call When You Receive the Extortion E-Mail? - What you Need to Know, Now!

Carrie Higbie, Global Director of Data Centre Solutions and Services, Siemon Data Centre Designs for a Green and Agile Environment With all the hype about vendor based designs, it is important to understand what the latest standards really tell us. A bad design is like pouring money into a pit. Carrie will cover the new standards, what they mean in a data centre and how to use them to increase flexibility and optimize savings. Attendees will learn the new changes to TIA 942, the EN data centre standards, and how it applies to greening the data centre environment.
