About This Show
AI-drafted summaryFounded in 1983, the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit is billed as the longest-running annual battery industry event in the world. Founded in 1983, the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit has established itself as the premier event showcasing the state of the art of worldwide energy storage technology developments for consumer, automotive, military, grid, and industrial applications.
The event convenes the full advanced-battery ecosystem. Prominent battery technologists from leading OEMs, cell manufacturers, pack integrators, materials & component developers, visionary academics, key government agencies, and all segments of the advanced battery supply chain attend. Programming spans four technical streams — R&D, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Applications — covering next-generation chemistries, lithium-ion, high-performance manufacturing, battery safety, automotive and grid storage, consumer electronics, and military applications.
The seminar has long been a stage for landmark announcements. Sony chose the International Battery Seminar as the platform to first announce its lithium-ion technology in 1991, an accomplishment that has since gone on to change the world. For engineers, researchers, and commercial leaders across the battery value chain, it offers a rare combination of technical depth, senior OEM insight, and industry-wide networking.
