WASHINGTON -- June 1, 2009 -- The IEEE Applied Power Electronics and Exposition Conference (APEC), the leading worldwide conference and exhibit for practicing power electronics professionals, announces a combined call for technical papers and special presentations for APEC 2010. The 25th annual APEC event will be held in Palm Springs, California, February 21-25, 2010.

"As the world places growing importance on energy efficiency, innovations in all aspects of power electronics have increased APEC's role in the industry to one of critical relevance," said Babak Fahimi, APEC 2010 General Chairman. "With this in mind, the central theme of the conference is optimal energy management. We encourage industry professionals to participate by showcasing their most recent technologies and viewpoints that address this theme."

The APEC 2010 conference committee is now soliciting two types of industry participation. The first is a call for technical papers. At the conference, these unique, peer-reviewed papers will be combined with rap sessions, dialogue sessions, and plenary sessions covering all aspects of power electronics. The conference committee is also issuing a call for special presentations, or sessions that do not require a formal paper. To celebrate APEC's 25th anniversary, these popular special presentation sessions have been expanded to reflect the applied and practical nature of the conference by covering automotive, communications, computing, consumer, and industrial applications.
