In the world of power electronics, one event has defined the industry for the last 35+ years, setting expectations, introducing new technologies, and providing networking opportunities. The Applied Power Electronics Conference — APEC — has brought together generations of power electronic professionals from across multiple industries to learn and grow their knowledge base. Vitrek is proud to announce our return to the APEC conference in Houston, TX, this year!
Coming Back to an In-Person Setting
The past two years have thrown the conference industry out of sync with various restrictions making in-person sessions less practical. While APEC 2021 went on as a virtual event, the 2022 edition remains on track for an in-person setting. With industry professionals from across the country coming together to learn more about emerging power conversion technologies, renew old friendships, and forge new ones, APEC 2022 is looking like a return to form.
What to Expect from APEC 2022
An APEC conference offers industry professionals various opportunities to explore what makes the industry go. These events offer attendees a wealth of information, events, and networking opportunities to push their careers forward and bring more value to their customers. Attendees can expect the following from APEC 2022:
Education Seminars
Attendees can attend a variety of professional education seminars to grow their knowledge base. These seminars run for three and a half hours, with breaks included to keep everyone focused. These events cover a broad spectrum of topics and skill levels, going from introductory sessions to highly advanced technical sessions.
Exhibitor Seminars
Run by companies within the sector to highlight new products and technologies entering the space, exhibitor seminars offer attendees the chance to learn more about the latest developments and interact with fellow professionals. From learning more about the newest power analyzers hitting the market to hipot testers that make your professional life easier, these exhibitor seminars have something for everyone.
Exposition
The key to staying ahead in the power electronics industry is staying at the forefront of emerging technologies involving DC-DC converters, energy storage, power semiconductor devices, and the like to provide for your customers. APEC 2022 will feature a three-day exposition period where companies from across the industry share their latest hardware. The top manufacturers and service providers attend and showcase their products for the coming year.
Plenary Sessions
As with any industry, finding ways to address present and long-term issues for power electronic engineers is an integral part of these types of large gatherings. With so many professionals from across the industry together in one place, holding sessions to address these issues can help find the solutions to these problems that work for everyone.
APEC has maintained the long-standing tradition of hosting plenary sessions to address the wide range of industry-specific issues and work together to find solutions that benefit everyone in the industry.
Social Events
The benefit of conferences like these means bringing together friends and colleagues from across the country, fortifying and building connections. While learning more about the electric power industry, APEC sponsors a social event at every conference that allows attendees the chance to relax, reconnect, and network with other professionals to form potential partnerships and friendships.
