Our keynote speaker: Gauthier Roussilhe
We are looking forward to welcoming Gauthier Roussilhe to LCIC 2026 as our keynote speaker on Day 1. His keynote under the theme “Sustainability in the Era of AI & Digital Transformation” will bring a perspective that deserves to be highlighted: what do the digital systems we increasingly rely on actually cost the planet?
While our various sessions and workshops explore the opportunities AI and digitalisation open up for sustainability practice, Gauthier’s keynote is a deliberate counterpoint — grounded in evidence, specific in its claims, and directly relevant for a community that thinks in system boundaries and full lifecycles.
Learn more about Gauthier below and join his keynote on the 1st of July!
