As the global economy enters what many believe will be a global recession, IT projects remain highly prioritized as part of renewed efforts towards achieving digital transformation. Against a challenging backdrop of rising inflation and weakening growth, organizations of all types are adjusting IT budgets to a new economic outlook and building contingency plans for the next 18 months. The impact of a weakening economy will vary significantly across geographies, industries and business types.

The presentation, featuring Jessica Goepfert and Stephen Minton from IDC's Customer Insights & Analysis team, will address questions such as:

• What are IDC's current predictions for enterprise IT budgets in the next 18 months, and how do these vary by industry?
• Which industries are most likely to be impacted by an economic recession, and what impact will this have on IT budgets?
• How is consumer IT spending likely to be affected by inflation and increasing interest rates?
• What are the latest indicators for economic and IT spending sentiment, and how do these vary by region and industry?

Climate change is already showing its impact across the globe, with extreme weather patterns and rising waters posing risks to people, animals, and all other life forms. And these dangers are only increasing in pace and scope. By 2026, climate-related weather events are expected to cost businesses 1.3 trillion dollars.

When it comes to the technology industry, is there anything we can do to lower the carbon footprint and reach net-zero? That's why the Sustainable EnterpriseTechnology Council was formed. What is the Sustainable Enterprise Technology Council?

Founded by BWG Connect and World Wide Technology, the Sustainable Enterprise Technology Council (SETC) is an organization on a mission to promote sustainability and reduce the carbon footprint of the enterprise technology industry.

The SETC aims to be a collaborative organization, bringing in various voices from companies big and small, creating a community to participate in building initiatives. The SETC preliminary topics include more efficient computing, data center design and retrofitting, site selection, efficient cooling, managing carbon credits, and renewable energy. According to Founding Partners Greg Irwin and Brendan Walsh, they want issues to be driven primarily by the community.
