Members of the ESIG O&M Users Group are invited to attend the 2022 Fall O&M Users Group Meeting at the Omni Severin Hotel in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The workshop will feature a plenary session as well as manufacturer-specific roundtables.

Participation in the roundtables is limited to employees of ESIG member organizations that own, operate, or maintain wind, solar, and energy storage equipment.
