Seventh Annual IEEE Energy Conversion Congress & Exposition, Montreal, Kanada

<p style="color: #222222;">The initial driving philosophy was manifold:</p> <ul><li style="color: #6e6e6e;">To consolidate the academic and applied activities within the electrical energy conversion market from theory to practice&#046;</li><li>To provide a centralized forum for engineers, designers, innovators, and policy makers to meet in one location every year in order to discourse, dispute, and discover old and new ideas, build kinship and camaraderie and to revel in the company of like minded individuals</li><li>To drive and spark creative thinking and action within the realm of electrical energy conversion&#046;</li><li>To enable the growth of the next generation of innovators, researchers and practitioners</li><li>To foster knowledge exchange between industry, research entities, academia with the goal of enhancing the state of the art in energy conversion</li></ul> <p style="color: #222222;">Over the past 7 years, this vision has been brought to bear successfully by teams of dedicated volunteers and participants&#046; ECCE has grown in attendance from 889 in 2009 to 1312 in 2013&#046; ECCE has become the premier global conference covering topics in energy conversion from electric machines, power electronics, drives, devices and applications existing and emergent&#046; As we celebrate the 7th year of ECCE in Montreal, we invite you to come join the growing, global family of energy conversion enthusiasts&#046;</p><p style="color: #222222;"><br></p>
