SPE Communities are where industry professionals can participate in peer-to-peer conversations and engage in technical and non-technical discussions. Communities participants can subscribe to posts, see who else is online, receive discussion notifications, connect directly to each other via direct messaging and more. Communities are an ideal way to stay connected with your peers to collaborate, share advice, find solutions, and build relationships.

IMPORTANT!
If you change your email address in your SPE member profile, it does not automatically update in your Communities profile. This is because Communities allows for separate email settings to manage your Communities activities. If you change your email in your main profile and want it updated in your Communities profile as well, you will need to change it in your Communities settings.
ADVERTISING WITHIN OUR COMMUNITY FORUMS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. ANY POSTS IDENTIFIED AS COMMERCIAL IN NATURE WILL BE TAKEN DOWN.
