Last week marked the convergence of industry leaders, innovators, and sustainability champions at International Telecoms Week (ITW) 2024. The atmosphere was electric, driven by the energy of collaboration, innovation and shared purpose. As I reflect on the whirlwind of activity, from the bustling expo hall to insightful panel discussions, I am inspired by the collective drive to propel our digital infrastructure industry forward.
At the heart of the action was the expo hall, a hub of activity where meetings, exchanges and collaborations were in full swing. Amidst this dynamic backdrop, JSA TV had the privilege of capturing the essence of ITW 2024 through over 50 exclusive live-streaming interviews with industry executives (a JSA conference record!). These interviews, now available on our JSA YouTube channel, provide a firsthand glimpse into the groundbreaking ideas and initiatives shaping our industry. With over 1.4 million views and 195k subscribers, our YouTube channel stands as a testament to the growing influence and reach of the JSA community!
One of the highlights of ITW this year was the Greener Data Exchange, commemorating the launch of “Greener Data – Volume Two” and setting the stage for a deeper exploration of sustainable practices within our industry. The event began with the “Getting to Greener Data” panel, where JSA’s Founder & CEO Jaymie Scotto Cutaia engaged with inspiring sustainability leaders and Greener Data authors who are driving meaningful change in our industry. The panelists shared insightful research, strategies and case studies for advancing sustainability in data centers – watch the full panel here.

Following the panel discussion, the Greener Data Exchange continued with a lively cocktail reception on a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking National Harbor. Against the backdrop of camaraderie and celebration, we toasted to the success of “Greener Data – Volume Two,” which has already achieved Amazon Best Seller status. This achievement is a testament to the collective efforts of our community and reaffirms our commitment to building a more sustainable future.
As we bid farewell to ITW 2024, the memories of inspiring discussions, collaborations and shared achievements continue. The event served as a reminder of the power of collective action and the importance of fostering a culture of innovation and sustainability within our industry. With each new initiative and partnership, we move one step closer to realizing our vision of a greener, more resilient future for all.
