The IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) is the world’s premier international conference and exhibition for power electronics, electrical drives, and electromechanical energy conversion. Jointly sponsored by the IEEE Power Electronics Society (PELS) and the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS), it serves as a hub for energy conversion innovation. ECCE bridges the gap between breakthrough academic research and practical industry application, driving the technologies required for a sustainable, electrified future.

In 2026, the Carbon2Chem® joint research project will once again host its annual conference on sustainable chemical conversion in industry. The focus will be on the latest research findings, the further development of chemical conversion processes, and insights from politics, business, and science.

Chillventa is known for its unrivaled global overview of refrigeration technology, insulation technology, I&C technology, automation, air conditioning, ventilation and heat pumps.

Hydrogen Technology World Expo is a solutions-oriented forum to discuss the development of new technologies to bring hydrogen into the mainstream for stationary and mobile applications. At Hydrogen Technology Expo 2026 we will be showcasing selected developments from our Division Decentralized & Mobile Hydrogen Technology.

SCALING HYDROGEN, STRENGTHENING RESILIENCE Hydrogen is a key player in the fight to curb climate change, due to its multiple end-uses and scope within the energy system, as recognised already by the EU Hydrogen Strategy and by the EU Green Deal. With the latest political developments, namely the decreasing affordability of energy, availability of raw materials and the need to boost the sustainable competitiveness of the European industry, it has acquired an even more central role, presenting itself simultaneously as an ally of decarbonisation, growth, and autonomy for Europe. Despite the challenges ahead, this is a massive opportunity to develop a strong European hydrogen supply chain, break free of fossil fuels, and deliver the ambitious climate goals required to keep the planet’s temperature increase under 1.5C. Join the week of all-things hydrogen and play your part in this journey! Registrations to the European Hydrogen Week are free of charge and will open in June 2026.

RE+26 brings the modern energy industry together to meet the power demands of the future. What began as Solar Power International (SPI) has evolved into RE+, uniting an extensive alliance of renewable energy leaders for multiple days of programming and networking opportunities, while showcasing a resilient industry.

This event showcases how digital tools unlock the full potential of thermal storage – presenting the latest results and innovations on cutting-edge technologies for cost-effective utilization of thermal storage in energy districts. Real achieved results on short- and long-term thermal storage in Scandinavia and Germany demonstrate this powerful combination in practice. The event creates a forum for business, academia, research, and politics to exchange ideas on the digital energy transition.

The Hagen Symposium is a specialist event that has been established for over 40 years, bringing together experts, researchers, and students in the field of powder metallurgy. It provides a platform for exchanging ideas on the latest technologies and innovations, ranging from electromobility and wind power to medical technology.
