More Power in 2014

APEC 2013 in Long Beach/California closed with a record of nearly 4,000 delegates ( 27 %) and

187 exhibitors, making it one of the greatest power electronics conferences and showing the

increasing interest in the role of power electronics for energy efficiency. Wide bandgap

technologies such as SiC and GaN were of major interest, and this will continue in the 2014 event

from March 16-20 in Fort Worth/Texas.

APEC 2014 will start on March 17 afternoon with the plenary session, traditionally a number of

speeches highlighting the actual subjects of power electronics within the conference, before the

exhibition opens within the late afternoon. Already on March 15/16 tutorials will be offered.
