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 Wednesday, July 21 at 11:00 AM CT, please reach out to me so I can be sure you are forwarded the invite an alternate way.

Thanks and I look forward to connecting next week!
