Dear ,
It’s been a while, so we wanted to share an update from your local PELS/IAS chapter!
The largest technical IEEE conference for IAS/PELS is coming to the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia starting October 19th, 2025. This is the first time the Energy Conversion Congress and Expo (ECCE) will be held in Philly, making it a rare opportunity to attend a conference of this scale within driving distance.
Local Speakers Wanted!
ECCE is actively looking for local speakers to showcase our region’s industry and research through 🔗Special Sessions. These sessions historically attract more traffic than regular papers and are an excellent way to promote technologies, companies, and labs.
If you're interested in forming or joining a group on a particular topic, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help. There’s also some flexibility on registration rates for those willing to volunteer as session organizers. Deadline is mid-March do not hesitate if you want to participate. Just send a direct message to gpitel@magna-power.com.
