This annual forum has established itself as one of the most important events of its kind in Europe. More than 30 top-class speakers from industry and research as well as more than 500 participants are expected . This year for the first time, the first day of the forum is dedicated to training courses. Dr. Jochen Mähliß, director of the batteryuniversity.eu, explained that this change to the forum procedure is in order to meet the desire of many participants, who would like to update and deepen their knowledge of batteries before the start of the main part of the forum. "The response so far to this additional offer has been extremely positive. This is also confirmed by the number of registrations for our half-day fundamentals training courses on the topics of lithium-ion battery technologies and battery management systems," said Dr. Jochen Mähliß.
On June 26 and 27, a variety of presentations offer attendees a wide range of information including topics such as fire protection concepts for lithium-ion batteries, requirements for future battery charger generations, fundamentals for international product approvals, perspectives for metal-air batteries or stationary energy storage systems and their network integration/coupling with photovoltaic (PV) systems. "Our explicit goal is to offer battery developers and users an extensive overview of the latest market and technology developments. In just two days, we want to give attendees the opportunity to gather comprehensive first-hand information in direct dialogue with experts from leading companies and organizations. These high expectations are also reflected in this year's selection of topics and speakers," said Dr. Jochen Mähliß, director of the batteryuniversity.eu. Experts from companies and organizations such as Akasol, batteryuniversity.eu, BMZ, Aschaffenburg University of Applied Sciences, Fraunhofer, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), LG, Maxell, Panasonic, Samsung, Siemens, Texas Instruments, the Association for Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies (VDE) and the Central Association of the Electrical Engineering and Electronics Industry (ZVEI) have already been confirmed as speakers.
In order to make it possible for non-German-speaking persons to attend, this year for the first time, all presentations will be translated simultaneously into English.
The conference is accompanied by an exhibition, which is open on June 26 and 27 from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, where around 40 exhibitors will present their latest battery-related products and services.
The attendance fee for the three-day Developer Forum Battery Technologies including free admission to the exhibition, breakfast, lunch and coffee buffets, after-show snacks and all forum documentation is 825 Euros plus 19% VAT per person. The fee for a two-day attendance is 650 Euros plus 19% VAT per person and for a one-day attendance the fee is 350 Euros plus 19% VAT per person.
