The Central Stage spotlights the latest innovations and market trends shaping transformers, generators, and transmission & distribution technologies. With insights from leading experts and keynote speakers, the programme delivers a mix of strategic and technical sessions tailored for engineers, academics, senior management, and industry professionals.

 From design advancements and efficiency gains to digitalisation, sustainability, and grid integration, the stage addresses the most pressing challenges and opportunities in today’s power sector. New for 2026 we will have a brand new content stream focused on the Transmission and Distribution sector, providing a holistic view of the the T&D ecosystem, from materials, design, manufacturing, through to the grid operator. 

Join global peers to explore the breakthroughs driving the future of energy systems.

The Electric Motor Forum will serve as a dedicated platform for industry leaders, innovators, and engineers to explore the future of electric motor technologies across automotive, industrial, and energy sectors. 

This brand new Forum goes beyond content presentations; it’s a fully integrated hub designed to elevate the motors sector presence and maximize engagement with a highly focused audience. With multiple touchpoints located in one central hall, participants can engage through thought-provoking sessions, strategic roundtables, and targeted table talks with peers.

The Forum offers a unique opportunity to position your organisation as a leader shaping the future of motor technologies.

The Women in Engineering programme explores how to foster truly inclusive workplaces and the vital role of allyship and advocacy in driving change. Industry leaders will share first-hand insights and personal stories, offering authentic perspectives on both challenges and successes.

Discussions will highlight the importance of building supportive cultures, breaking down barriers, and encouraging diversity across all levels of the industry. Attendees will also gain practical tips and actionable strategies to implement in their own organizations.

These sessions aim to inspire dialogue, create awareness, and empower participants to take meaningful steps toward a more equitable engineering sector.

CWIEME brings together faculty and students where the attendees not only leave with a deeper understanding of the industry, but also with a large network, practical skills and even inspiration for future innovations. 

We want to fill the talent gap by bringing new talent to our industry. CWIEME wants to spark ideas, foster collaboration between academia and the industry and empowering the leaders of tomorrow with skills and insights.

Der C-Suite Club ist eine Premium-Umgebung nur für Führungskräfte, die speziell für das Ökosystem der Elektrotechnik entwickelt wurde. Diese neue Erfahrung vor Ort bietet eine seltene Gelegenheit, sich mit hochrangigen Kollegen auszutauschen, strategische Diskussionen zu führen und die Zukunft der Branche zu gestalten - und das alles in einem Rahmen, der Privatsphäre, Einblick und Einflussnahme in den Vordergrund stellt. Die Diskussionen werden nach der Chatham-House-Regel geführt.
