NASPI Work Group Meeting and Vendor Show - April 4-5, 2023 in Tempe, Arizona. 

Because I have been receiving a few inquiries, I wanted the NASPI Community to know that this meeting is an in-person meeting. The NASPI Leadership Team investigated doing a hybrid meeting option, but this option quickly became cost prohibitive.

The North American Synchrophasor Initiative (NASPI) Work Group Meeting and Vendor Show will be held in Tempe, Arizona, April 4-5, 2023, at the beautiful PERA Club. Our agenda will feature invited speakers and technology partners demonstrating their latest hardware and software. Expect presentations from companies and individuals who are exploring current and emerging areas of emphasis in networking and communication technologies, statistical analysis and deep learning for extraction actionable information from large datasets, and high-resolution sensors to characterize the transient behavior of inverter-based resources and other fast-acting phenomena. NASPI's abstract list of topics was long and sure to garner informative presentations.

Our distinguished keynote speaker, Chris Janick, SRP Senior Director of Power Delivery.
