This event is general held in the late winter, February or March, with typically over 5,000 attendees.   APEC has a long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to the practicing power electronics engineer.   Preparations for the next edition, in Anaheim, California, USA (March 17-21, 2019) are underway.  APEC features the best power electronics exposition, includes professional development courses taught by world-class experts, presentations of peer-selected technical papers covering a wide range of topics, and time to network  and enjoy the company of fellow power electronics professionals.

Parts of past APEC programs are on line on IEEE.tv, in particular keynote speeches in their entirety here. (see trailer)

ITEC is a series of events focused on all aspects of transportation electrification, from accessory motors to battery charging, from ships to bicycles, aerospace to hybrid and electric vehicles.  It includes a number of conferences across the globe: ITEC in North America (typically in June;  was in Novi, MI, USA, last June and will be in Chicago, Illinois June 24-26, 2020); ITEC Asia-Pacific, on Jeju Island, Korea, May 8-10, 2019, with the theme:  “New Paradigm Shift, Sustainable E-Mobility”;  in Europe, in collaboration with the well-established Electrical Systems for Aircraft, Railway, Ship Propulsion and Road Vehicles conference (ESARS), ESARS-ITEC, (organized in 2018 by the University of Nottingham, UK); and, co-organized with SAE India, ITEC-India, set for Bangalore, Sept. 12-13, 2019.

The Seventh Annual IEEE PES/IAS PowerAfrica Conference (PAC 2020) will be held in Nairobi, Kenya from August 25 to August 28, 2020. PowerAfrica is co-sponsored by the IEEE Power and Energy Society (PES) and Industrial Applications Society (IAS). PowerAfrica 2020 is a premier conference providing a forum for research scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present and discuss latest research findings, ideas, and emerging technologies and applications in the area of power systems integrations, business models, technological advances, policies and regulatory frameworks for the African continent. The conference will feature keynote addresses and invited presentations by distinguished scientists and engineers.

A conference dating back to 1974, organized every other year in Europe by local engineering organizations, typically in September, with a special focus on electrical machines.  The 2018 edition in Alexandroupoli, Greece, was a great success.   The next event is scheduled for August 23rd-26th in Gothenburg, Sweden.
