The PCIM Europe, a prominent global expo and conference for power electronics, will once again serve as a focal point for the industry, presenting a wide range of innovations, trends, and advancements from 11 – 13 June 2024. The expo and conference are expected to establish new records with more than 600 exhibitors and over 500 presentations.
Attendees of the expo this year may anticipate a broader selection of products that cover the whole power electronics value chain. A record-breaking number of over 600 exhibitors will showcase their products in four exhibition rooms, an increase of one from the previous year, covering a vast area of over 38,000 m². Out of the total, 60% come from other countries, amounting to a collective of 33 different nations.
The attendees include prominent companies in the industry such as Efficient Power Conversion (EPC) Corporation, Fuji Electric Europe, Infineon Technologies, Mitsubishi Electric Europe, onsemi, SEMIKRON Danfoss, ROHM Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, Volkswagen, and Wolfspeed. The PCIM Europe expo will showcase a significant number of new exhibitors, including China, Germany, Taiwan, and the USA, which are the top four countries represented. The online exhibitor list provides a comprehensive overview of all participating companies.
The conference provides a varied program consisting of more than 500 talks. Esteemed speakers will share their research findings from many domains within this dynamic industry, providing participants with the chance to learn about the most recent advancements and establish vital connections.
Maurizio Di Paolo Emilio holds a Ph. D. in Physics and is a Telecommunications Engineer. He has worked on various international projects in the field of gravitational waves research, designing a thermal compensation system (TCS) and data acquisition and control systems, and on others about x-ray microbeams in collaboration with Columbia University, high voltage systems and space technologies for communications and motor control with ESA/INFN. TCS has been applied to the Virgo and LIGO experiments, which detected gravitational waves for the first time and earned the Nobel Prize in 2017. Since 2007, he has been a reviewer for scientific publications for academics such as Microelectronics Journal and IEEE journals. Moreover, he has collaborated with different electronic industry companies and several Italian and English blogs and magazines, such as Electronics World, Elektor, Mouser, Automazione Industriale, Electronic Design, All About Circuits, Fare Elettronica, Elettronica Oggi, and PCB Magazine, as a technical writer/editor, specializing in several topics of electronics and technology. From 2015 to 2018, he was the editor-in-chief of Firmware and Elettronica Open Source, which are technical blogs and magazines for the electronics industry. He participated in many conferences as a speaker of keynotes for different topics such as x-ray, space technologies, and power supplies. Maurizio enjoys writing and telling stories about Power Electronics, Wide Bandgap Semiconductors, Automotive, IoT, Embedded, Energy, and Quantum Computing. Maurizio has been an AspenCore content editor since 2019. He is currently editor-in-chief of Power Electronics News and EEWeb and a correspondent for EE Times. He is the host of PowerUP, a podcast about power electronics, and the promoter and organizer of the PowerUP Virtual Conference, a summit where each year great speakers talk about the power electronics design trends. Moreover, he has contributed to a number of technical and scientific articles as well as a couple of Springer books on energy harvesting and data acquisition and control systems.
