Submit Your Industry Session Proposals Now

Are you interested in presenting at APEC 2026 but cannot commit the time needed to write a full technical paper? An Industry Session presentation may be for you!

APEC 2026 will continue the long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to the practicing power electronic engineer through valuable Industry Sessions. These very popular sessions have allowed APEC to present information on current topics in power electronics from sources that would not otherwise attend APEC. The target audience for these sessions includes system engineers/architects and business-oriented people such as purchasing agents, regulatory agencies, along with other people who support the power electronics industry.

To help encourage more content contributions from industry practitioners, APEC runs the Industry Session track, in parallel with the Technical Session track. Presenters are invited to make a presentation only without the need to submit a formal paper. Industry Sessions presentations will be included in the APEC proceedings download.

Proposals should contain technical information relevant to the industry and academic participants but may not contain any marketing information. Proposals can be submitted in two different formats. Presenters can submit either an individual presentation proposal or an overall session proposal.

Accepted individual presentation proposals will be grouped by topics and sessions of 4 or 7 presentations will be formed.

Individual Proposal Guidelines:

• Prepare a proposal that provides a summary of the presentation content and a description of the target audience.
• Include relevant figures, results, methodology, references etc. to enhance the acceptability of your proposal.
• DO NOT include any commercial pitch in the proposal or in the final presentation.
• DO NOT include a full presentation as a proposal.
• Ensure that the content is applied in nature and useful to the APEC attendees.
• Choose the appropriate formatting and font sizes to make the proposal easily readable.
• Each proposal must identify the presenting author (“presenter”) and may have additional co-authors listed.
• Include presenter title, affiliation, and biography at the end. (Maximum 1 page)
• Presenter contact details are required at the time of submission.

Below are two presentation samples:

• APEC2026 Industry Session Single Presentation Sample 1
• APEC2026 Industry Session Single Presentation Sample 2

 

Session Proposal Guideline:

• Describe the title and overall theme of the session.
• Specify the session length requested (4 or 7 presentations).
• Provide proposals of individual presentations in the session (follow the guidelines above).
• If all proposals are not available, specify target presenters/topics.
• Ensure that any proposal does not have more than 2 presenters from a single organization.
• Each submission must identify at least 2 Session Chairs.
• Include Session Chair titles, affiliations, and biographies at the end.
• Primary Session Chair contact details are required at the time of submission.

Please note, the ideal session proposal would combine the best practices highlighted by these below examples, namely the clear overview of the session in a table format in addition to the description of the individual presentation as demonstrated separately in these examples.

• APEC2026 Industry Session PSMA Full Session Proposal Sample 1
• APEC2026 Industry Session Non-PSMA Full Session Proposal Sample 2

 

Please note, all proposals should be submitted by the presenter to facilitate smooth and consistent communication leading up to APEC 2026. If the original proposal submitter is not the presenter, the proposal risks getting rejected unless the presenter is made the primary contact person prior to final acceptance.

 

Presenters are required to register for APEC 2026 in accordance with APEC registration policies.
