APEC Returns To Scenic And Historic San Antonio

APEC 2026 returns to the scenic and historic city of San Antonio, Texas. San Antonio is a vibrant city with sightseeing, dining, and a long history. Just a few blocks from the convention center and hotels one can stroll along or take a boat tour of the world renowned River Walk, visit the Alamo to see where the history of Texas took a crucial turn, or shop in quaint local shops in La Villita Historic Arts Village. Not far away one can visit historic missions on the Mission Trail. San Antonio offers a wide range of dining, with options from casual to gourmet. Yes, the cuisine of Mexico and Texas barbeque are all around but cuisines from around the world are well represented. San Antonio has four world class theme parks, including Six Flags Over Texas and Seaworld, for family fun. Come join us in San Antonio for the latest in power electronics technology and take the time to visit, explore, and enjoy all that San Antonio has to offer.

First held 40 years ago, APEC has grown to be the leading conference in North America for power electronic professionals.
