Congratulations To APEC 2024's Best Presentation Award Recipients!
An important skill for engineers and technical professionals is the ability to communicate their work clearly and concisely. To encourage the development of presentation skills APEC each year gives a Best Presentation award to one presentation in each technical session (lecture and dialogue). The Session Chairs score each presentation on a number of criteria including the quality of slides, the quality of the presentation, and how well the presenter responded to questions. Having a presentation selected for an APEC Best Presentation Award is a significant professional accomplishment.
APEC congratulates this year's award recipients and thanks them for their contribution to making APEC the premier conference for showcasing the latest power electronics research and technology.
