Battcon 2025 Announces IEEE Power & Energy Society as Technical Co-Sponsor

ORLANDO, FL — April 29, 2025  Battcon, organized by the Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI), is the industry’s benchmark event for real-world application training and the latest critical developments in stationary battery systems. Today, Battcon announced that the IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) will be the technical co-sponsor for its 2025 event. This marks the first technical co-sponsorship between Battcon and the IEEE Power & Energy Society, expanding the conference’s global reach and technical impact.

Scheduled for Aug. 3–6, 2025, in Orlando, Florida, Battcon brings together engineers, operators, manufacturers and end users to address critical challenges in backup power systems for many different markets like data centers, energy storage systems, utilities, and telecommunications. With IEEE PES involvement, Battcon 2025 will be included on the IEEE Conference Search/Call for Papers website, and conference materials will be eligible for archival in IEEE Xplore®, expanding access to speaker research and technical findings across the global energy community.

“The involvement of IEEE PES as a technical co-sponsor enhances the already outstanding technical content at Battcon 2025,” said Dr. Matt Raiford, senior technical director of the Consortium for Battery Innovation. “Their role in co-publishing and archiving the conference’s peer-reviewed technical papers ensures that our speakers’ contributions are preserved and shared with a global network of power and energy professionals. This partnership strengthens the value of Battcon as a platform for advancing real-world battery applications in critical infrastructure.”

The IEEE Power & Energy Society, the world’s leading forum for electric power and energy innovation, has more than 42,000 members worldwide. Their participation furthers Battcon’s mission to deliver top-tier technical education and drive advancements across grid storage, telecom backup and data center UPS systems.

Battcon, organized by the Consortium for Battery Innovation (CBI), is where technical expertise meets real-world application. The 2025 event will feature expert-led sessions, pre- and post-conference workshops, an expanded expo, and targeted networking receptions connecting professionals across the stationary battery community. In Battcon’s uniquely independent exhibit hall, attendees can engage directly with leading manufacturers, suppliers and service providers. Learn more at www.battcon.com.

Energy Storage, E-mobility & Environment are the focus of CBI’s co-organised event in India

CBI is co-organising an event with the India Lead Zinc Development Association (ILZDA), International Lead Association (ILA), International Lead Zinc Study Group (ILZSG), Indian Battery Manufacturers Association (IBMA) and the Recycling and  Environment  Industry Association of India (REIAI) to discuss the role of the lead industry in Energy Storage, E-mobility and Environment.

The International Conference on Lead & Lead Batteries will take place in New Delhi, India from 5-6 December 2022 and CBI’s Director, Dr Alistair Davidson, will talk about innovation for lead batteries and CBI's exciting new projects coming up involving energy storage systems.

This world class event is a great opportunity for stakeholders of the lead and lead battery industry to learn more about the latest technology developments and trends.
