OUR MEETINGS
EUFF President Kyle Wood of Seminole Electric, EUFF Vice President of Programs Kelton Aspuru of the Orlando Utilities Commission, and EUFF Vice President of Communications & Governance Abby Mayer of Seminole Electric would like to invite you to the EUFF fall 2020 meeting. We would always prefer to meet in person but, given the circumstances, EUFF will hold its first virtual meeting October 21st - 23rd from 9:00 a.m. EST to 12:00 p.m. EST. The conference fee will be waived for this meeting.
As always, this event will be a great opportunity to interact with members of the forecasting community, learn from engaging speakers, collect new ideas to enhance your projections, and of course talk all things forecasting. Last meeting, in Fall 2019, we had speakers who explored the rising potential of distributed rooftop solar adoption and approaches to measuring and forecasting its transformation to our industry, normal weather methodologies, detecting anomalies within hourly load data, the possibility of an approaching recession and its impacts on forecasting, distribution of peak weather and response, SAS short-term load forecasting, AMI metering data, and data integrity and accuracy.
Thank you for your interest in the Electric Utility Forecaster Forum. We look forward to seeing you on the web!
