The International Battery Seminar & Exhibit, founded in 1983, is the longest-running annual battery industry event in the world. This event has become a premier platform for showcasing the latest advancements in energy storage technology across various applications, including consumer, automotive, military, grid, and industrial sectors.

This year's event took place in Orlando and attracted prominent battery technologists from leading OEMs, cell manufacturers, pack integrators, materials & component developers, leading academics, national labs, key government agencies, and all segments of the advanced battery supply chain. The attendee list included major players such as Apple, Amazon, Sony, Tesla, and many others. With over 2000 attendees from around the globe, this event has established itself as a crucial venue for sharing knowledge and innovations.

For next year's event scheduled from March 23-26, 2026, the venue will be expanded to Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando. This move is expected to accommodate even more participants and exhibitors. The conference will feature keynotes from renowned industry leaders like Prof. Jeff Dahn of Dalhousie University and Troy Hayes of Tesla. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with over 50 OEMs and battery developers on their latest research plans and network with more than 250 top-tier sponsors and exhibitors.

The International Battery Seminar & Exhibit has a rich history of announcing significant developments and new products. For instance, Sony chose this platform to announce its lithium-ion technology in 1991. Since then, this technology has transformed the world of energy storage. As one of the very few events where renowned industry leaders deliver plenary keynotes like Prof. Dahn's H-index of 163 suggests his profound impact on the field.

In summary, the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit remains a vital event for those interested in staying at the forefront of battery technology advancements.
