The PCIM Expo & Conference is regarded as one of the leading international events in power electronics, with the 2027 edition focusing on current developments in power semiconductors, passive components, heat management solutions, energy storage and sensor technology as well as new materials and systems. The event will thus address the key trends and forward-looking issues in power electronics, providing authors with an ideal platform for presenting their research results – including initial public disclosures – to an international professional audience. All accepted authors will have their papers published in the PCIM Conference proceedings and established databases such as IEEE Xplore and Scopus.
Axel Wagret, Hardware Power Electronics Design Engineer at Airbus and winner of the Young Engineer Award 2026, highlights the benefits of participating in the PCIM Conference: “Being part of the conference program gives your work incredible visibility among top-tier specialists. But beyond that, the real value lies in the networking and exchange: the direct feedback you receive from both academia and industry is unmatched and can genuinely accelerate your research.”
Advisory Board acts as quality guarantor
The Conference Advisory Board, chaired by Prof. Dr. Leo Lorenz and Prof. Dr. Drazen Dujic, selects and assesses the papers submitted. A multi-level assessment process ensures that papers meet scientific quality standards and are relevant in terms of their practical application. This established approach plays a major role in ensuring the high level of expertise of the PCIM Conference.
"Every piece of work submitted helps shape the future of power electronics," explains Dujic, adding, "The PCIM Conference brings together the leading minds in power electronics, providing them with an international forum for their research results. Speakers also benefit from a unique network that drives innovation and opens up opportunities for new collaborations."
Wide-ranging presentation formats
The PCIM Conference boasts a broad scope of presentation formats that allows intensive high-level discussion of specialist topics:
- Presentations: 20-minute conference presentations on the stages of the conference rooms
- Poster sessions: Format that allows interaction between speakers and attendees in an exhibition hall
- Seminars: Half-day events in small groups on the two days before the PCIM Expo & Conference. These sessions allow in-depth dialog on specialist topics
Accolades and financial support
As in previous years, next year's event will feature the PCIM Conference Awards honoring outstanding submissions in the categories Best Paper Award, Young Engineer Award and Young Researcher Award. The awards recognize innovative contributions and fund technological developments and new creative ideas in the industry. Each one comes with a 1,000-euro prize.
Furthermore, the PCIM Conference supports international students with travel grants worth 600 euros each. The aim here is to enable talented young people to actively participate in the conference and to facilitate their integration into the industry's international community.
Major platform for power electronics
The PCIM Conference brings together international experts from industry and academia. In 2026 the number of presentations topped 500 for the first time, with the event attracting 960 conference attendees from all around the world. Sixty-two percent of visitors come from abroad, underlining the conference's global significance and its status as a major meeting place for those working in the industry.
