APEC 2026 early bird registration now open

Registration is now open for the 41st Annual Applied Power Electronics Conference. The APEC 2026 conference and exposition, running 22-26th March at the Henry B. González Convention Centre, continues its long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to the practicing power electronics engineer.

Providing a truly professional experience, full registration at APEC is nevertheless offered at one of the lowest costs of any IEEE conference. Complete details for registering and hotel booking can be found on the APEC Registration page.

APEC 2026 Conference registration includes access to technical content, such as peer-reviewed Technical Programme paper presentations, Industry Sessions discussing the latest advances in commercial developments, as well as half-day Professional Education Seminars presented by industry experts on a range of topics geared to both introductory and expert-level participants.

In addition to the conference programme, full registration includes admission to the sold-out APEC 2026 Exposition that brings together nearly 300 leading manufacturers. Special events – including the MicroMouse contest and the always-popular Wednesday evening Social Event – round out a lively, interactive tradeshow environment.

APEC 2026 offers discounted rates at four hotels near the Convention Centre. Attendees are encouraged to secure their reservations early since hotels are expected to book up well in advance of the conference. (Please note that hotel reservations can be made only after completing conference registration, whereupon an automatic confirmation email is sent to the registered attendee with links to APEC’s contracted hotels.) For more details, please visit APEC’s Travel Information page.

“APEC is simply a must-attend event for practicing power electronics engineers,” said Jin Wang, Conference General Chair. “Its technical programme, tutorials, plenary sessions, exposition and social events – this conference and exhibition is unrivalled in providing our global community with opportunities to advance their careers while having fun. We encourage attendees to register now for APEC 2026 in San Antonio – and to reserve an APEC-contracted hotel before they are full.”
