Each year at APEC, the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) hosts a series of meetings, workshops and events. One of the sponsoring organizations for APEC, PELS, has facilitated and guided the development and innovation in power electronics technology for more than 30 years. In striving to build knowledge and awareness of the latest technologies and other advances in power electronics, the goal of PELS is to keep members current and competitive in the workplace, and provide them with the tools necessary to help them grow both personally and professionally.
While the PELS meeting schedule for APEC 2024 will be announced later, check out the meetings held at APEC 2023 to see the many opportunities to get involved.
