APEC 2025 — IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition

APEC is the leading conference for practicing power electronics professionals and addresses a broad range of topics in the use, design, manufacture and marketing of all kinds of power electronics equipment. Focusing on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. This is not just a designer’s conference; APEC has something of interest for anyone involved in power electronics:

• Equipment OEMs that use power supplies and dc-dc converters in their equipment
• Designers of power supplies, dc-dc converters, motor drives, uninterruptable power supplies, inverters, and any other power electronic circuits, equipment, and systems
• Manufacturers and suppliers of components and assemblies used in power electronics
• Manufacturing, quality, and test engineers involved with power electronics equipment
• Marketing, sales, and anyone involved in the business of power electronics
• Compliance engineers testing and qualifying power electronics equipment or equipment that uses power electronics

APEC is interested in papers and presentations related to any area of power electronics.
