Yes, that's Chris Jordan's awesome (and gigantor in real life) digital artwork you see there in the background of Greener Gadgets' promo image, and appropriately so, since he's one of many cool speakers to present at the upcoming conference. Inhabitat and Marc Alt + Partners present this one day event as a reason to meet and focus on the greening of the consumer electronics industry. Presenters include Chris Jordan, Mary Lou Jepson (OLPC), Natalie Jeremijenko, Jeff Omelchuck (EPEAT), Markus Terho (Nokia), Renee St. Denis (HP), David Conrad (Nokia), Douglas Smith (Sony), Jennifer van der Meer (o2), Katie Fehrenbacher (earth2tech), Ryan Block (Engadget), and Valerie Casey (IDEO).

Greener Gadgets is a one day conference featuring key representatives from some of the largest consumer electronics companies in the world, innovators from academic thinktanks, members of startups focused on renewable energy, and some of the leading minds in the word of sustainable design and business. Topics to be addressed include: design for sustainability, product life cycle management, take-back and recycling programs, energy efficiency, greener materials, and green lifestyle and product marketing. An attached gallery space will feature a green prototype office display and technology exhibits from companies on the cutting edge of green tech.
