DESCRIPTION:The 3rd Annual EV Charging Infrastructure Summit - North Americ
 a\, July 11-12\, 2023 in Chicago\, convenes top industry experts and charg
 ing professionals to examine how growing EV adoption rates will impact the
  network\, and what investments are needed to ensure widespread EV adoptio
 n and grid stability. Case studies of current utility programs and deploym
 ents will be discussed with an eye toward refining strategies\, identifyin
 g technologies\, and implementing business models that will meet the growi
 ng demand for EV charging in North America.\n\nIEEE Chicago is pleased to 
 be an Official Association Partner for this summit. Ugur Cem Merdamert\, I
