APEC 2024

Registration for APEC 2024 in Long Beach, CA is now open. Session information and schedules have now been posted, as well as updated information for special events and travel & hotels.

While not part of the official APEC Program the Magnetics Workshop, organized jointly by the Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA) and the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS), held the Saturday before APEC begins, has become an established tradition. The 2024 workshop, titled "Power Magnetics At High Frequency", will be held on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at the Long Beach Convention Center. The purpose and focus of this workshop are to identify the latest improvements in magnetic materials, coil (winding) design, construction and fabrication, evaluation and characterization techniques and modelling and simulation tools. This is to target the advancements that are deemed necessary by the participants for power magnetics to meet the technical expectations and requirements of new market applications for higher operating frequencies and emerging topologies that are being driven by continuous advances in circuits topologies and semi-conductor devices.

While not part of the official APEC Program the PSMA Workshop, organized in conjunction with the Airfuel Alliance, Next Generation Wireless Power will be held the Saturday before APEC begins at the Long Beach Convention Center. The purpose and focus of the workshop are to identify the latest improvements in wireless power technology and will cover the different dimensions to successfully integrate these new technologies into products. These include, the technical foundation, innovations in power electronics semiconductors technologies, use cases, industry standards, common engineering challenges, regulatory and safety requirements, and how to conquer them.
