  • I come to GridFWD for the community and for the opportunity to have deep and meaningful conversations about where we are driving the business as well as the technology of our grid and our systems going forward. I get to learn from my peers, I get to see my customers and my partners, and I bring my team to GridFWD because of the value of learning and connecting that we get in this community.
