The Energy Conversion Conference and Expo (ECCE) is making its West Coast rotation to Vancouver, Canada, October 10-14, 2021. The flagship conference for the IEEE Industrial Application Society (IAS) and Power Electronics Society (PELS) has been running annually for 12 years, and is the world’s largest podium for presenting the latest power electronics, electric machines, and drives research, their applications, and engineering training. The conference will be held at the Vancouver Conference Centre, one of the world's most beautiful and sustainable meeting venues (see below for more information).
Virtual Attendees Welcome
For those unable to travel to the event, the program will run in parallel using vFAIRS, a widely adopted virtual event platform, providing participants with the closest “in-person” experience possible. The exhibition takes place over the first two days, at the height of conference attendance. More information about virtual and in-person registration can be found at ECCE's registration page.
A Powerful Program
The conference's anticipated 1,600 + attendees will enjoy a deep program that includes a full schedule of technical sessions, tutorials, and daily plenary sessions. Industry luminaries will offer their insights on electric aviation, advanced drive systems, and the digital transformation of power conversion.
This year's ECCE also will offer a series of Special Sessions that address 25 of the most important technical issues emerging in the power-conversion industry. Special Session topics include:
- Cybersecurity for Power Electronics
- Advances in SiC/GaN Grid Applications to Support EV and Renewable Energy
- Dynamic Modeling and Simulation for Reliable and Resilient Operation of Future Grids
- Additive Manufacturing for Electric Machines
- Power Electronic Technologies for Distributed Energy Resources
Women in Power Welcomed!
The IEEE's Women in Engineering (WiE) is partnering with ECCE to present several special events for female attendees, including a breakfast roundtable, an evening social/networking party, and a special program session whose topic is TBD at the time of this posting. They’re also offering an attendance reimbursement part of the registration expenses ($200 or $400 each) associated with the conference. The amount reimbursed depends on the registration type. To learn more, visit WiE's information page on ECCE's website.
A Sustainable Venue
ECCE 2012 will be held at the Vancouver Convention Centre, a unique building that combines beauty, comfort, and sustainability. From the sweeping views of Victoria harbor to its six-acre "green roof" that is home to more than 400,000 indigenous plants and grasses and several hives of honeybees, this double LEED-Platinum certified (LEED = Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) meeting space is the perfect place to explore the technologies that will be the foundations of a sustainable future.
The Convention Centre's public Exhibit Hall will provide attendees with a comfortable place to meet the event's sponsors and other vendors offering state-of-the-art products and services for the power-conversion industry. It’s also an ideal location to meet with existing customers. Typically, half in attendance are international, which gives the exposure needed to forge new customer relationships.
