Coming from the field of IT and Green Software, the IKEM Academy gave me an invaluable insider introduction to many facets of the Green Energy sector that I had not been exposed to before. I really enjoyed the in-depth talks, the field trip to the wind turbine, inter-disciplinary discussions, and hands-on workshops with Elery Studios, which especially gave everyone the opportunity to connect and think about challenges in holistic and creative ways. I still quote the key takeaway from last year’s conference–which is that we already have the technology and tools that we need to reverse global warming–but we need to be smarter about how we do storytelling and use better strategies to influence individuals, lobby for policies, and change culture.
