Focusing on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business, APEC 2025 is set to celebrate its 40th anniversary in Atlanta, Georgia, from March 16-20, 2025. This conference is not just for designers; it offers something of interest for anyone involved in power electronics. The event will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center, a venue known for hosting major conferences and exhibitions.

APEC has a rich history, having first been held 40 years ago. It has grown to become the leading conference in North America for power electronic professionals. The event is expected to attract a wide range of attendees, including engineers, professionals, and enthusiasts. While specific numbers are not provided, past events have drawn significant crowds, making this year's event anticipated to be equally impressive.

The organizers are dedicated to providing a wide range of registration options to fit the needs of any attendee. Full Conference registration grants access to all APEC activities and events, while more specialized registrations allow access to specific sessions such as Technical Sessions or Professional Education Seminars. General Attendee registration offers admission to the Exhibit Hall, Plenary Session, and Debate Sessions at a low cost. Attendees are encouraged to register early and make their hotel and travel arrangements as soon as possible due to potential impacts from nearby events.
