Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Jun 5, 2008

The APEC conference committee has issued a combined call for papers and participation for the 2009 event in Washington DC.

APEC, the leading worldwide conference and exhibition for practicing power electronics professionals, is soliciting papers and presentations for its 24th annual event to be held at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, DC, from 15th to 19th February 2009.

As the world places a growing importance on energy efficiency, power electronics remains an enabling and important topic.

With this in mind, the APEC conference committee has issued its combined call for papers and participation.

The deadline for the submission of paper digests is 19th July 2008.

In addition, APEC is inviting suitably qualified Electronicstalk readers to participate in technical seminars or special presentations or to serve as reviewers of submitted papers.

Additionally, industry practitioners are sought to teach sessions as part of the conference's popular professional educational seminars.

According to Kevin Parmenter, APEC 2009 General Chairman: "The hallmark of the APEC conference continues to be presentations of new and unique peer-reviewed technical papers covering all aspects of power electronics, combined with plenary sessions with viewpoints of critical issues in our industry".

Abstracts will be peer reviewed by an expert committee, and presenters will be informed of paper acceptance by 3rd October 2008.

All accepted abstracts, papers and presentations will be published in the conference CD and web proceedings following the conference.

Industry practitioners are invited to share their ideas, experience, strategies or technologies in power electronics by presenting a paper or by teaching a course in the professional education seminars.

Companies exhibiting at APEC can present an exhibitor seminar.

They are also encouraged to submit a paper for the technical programme and special presentation sessions and sign up to review submitted papers.
