Where AC meets DC 
Shaping the Future in Hybrid Power 

The future of electricity is changing and you’re invited to be part of it

The electricity grid is undergoing one of the biggest transformations in its history. What was once a simple, one-directional system, from power plant to user, has evolved into a complex and dynamic network powered by renewable generation, smart technologies, and distributed energy systems.

On June 2, 2026, we invite you to an exclusive event where industry experts, innovators, and forward-thinking professionals come together to explore how power electronics are reshaping the energy system and what this means for businesses like yours.

This is not just another technical session. It’s a practical, insight-driven day designed to help you understand the opportunities behind the rapidly changing energy landscape.

Why you don’t want to miss this event

The programme offers a unique perspective on the future of energy supply. The speakers will both inspire and challenge you on the role of high-power electronics within the new grid architecture. Electricity infrastructure is under increasing pressure. Decentralised energy generation is growing rapidly, while DC applications continue to expand. As a result, power electronics are evolving from a supporting technology into the crucial system orchestrator. How? Through real-world practical examples, the programme will provide you with a broad perspective on these developments.
