  A calendar placeholder for this community conversation was sent out earlier in the month via my alternate email address (kpraet@sg.utilityanalytics.com), however some members made us aware they either did not receive or noticed the invite got caught in spam. If you are not seeing a placeholder on your calendar for Tuesday, July 20th at 1:00 PM CT, please reach out to me so I can be sure you are forwarded the invite an alternate way.
