Reschedule AnnouncementY'all might have heard that a big storm is headed our way. And while the weather predictions always come with uncertainty, significant impacts are likely from this one, and we could see infrastructure down for several days. For that reason, we've made the decision to reschedule our January 26 Hollers & Horizons. We're pushing back one week, to Monday, February 2. We'll kick off at the same time: 5 p.m. ET. Already registered? No need to do anything. We've updated it all on our end. And if you can make this new date but haven't signed up yet, here's your sign. 🪧
