The APEC 2027 organizing committee is open for suggestions for Plenary Session topics and speakers for the 42nd annual Applied Power Electronics Conference. Each year, the Plenary Session is held on the Monday preceding the opening of the exhibition hall. Following a tradition of featuring a series of cutting-edge, high-level talks from industry notables, the Plenary Session sets the stage for the entire week-long conference program. The deadline for submitting suggestions for the Plenary Session is July 19, 2026.
APEC’s exceptionally well-attended plenary presentations bring together thought leaders from industry, government and academic institutions to explore topics of broad interest to the power electronics community. Anyone wishing to propose a theme, talk title or speaker should go to the Plenary Session page. We encourage those interested in making suggestions to view the recording of last year’s session and see the associated slides to appreciate the high quality of an APEC Plenary.
There are two ways to offer a Plenary Session suggestion:
“We are reaching out to our worldwide community of power electronics professionals for their ideas to help us create the Plenary Session for next year’s conference,” said Conor Quinn, Co-Chair of the APEC Plenary Session committee. Co-Chair, Francesco Iannuzzo added, “We request our attendees inform us of their desired best themes, topics, and speakers to make APEC 2027 yet another success. The July 19th deadline is approaching fast, so we ask those interested to make their suggestions soon.”
