APEC 2021, to be held in Phoenix, Arizona from March 21-25, 2021, continues the long-standing tradition of addressing issues of immediate and long-term interest to the practicing power electronics engineer. APEC relies upon a peer-review process to ensure the quality of Technical Program Paper submissions. To help maintain this high level of excellence, APEC is reaching out to industry experts to contribute a few hours to review digests in their specific areas of expertise. A link to the reviewer registration instructions can be found on the homepage.
Peer-review is required by multiple qualified individuals with direct experience in one or more of the topics comprising the conference’s
thirteen technical paper tracks:
AC-DC converters (Single-Phase and Three-Phase Input, Power Factor Correction, CCM, DCM, CRM/BCM Control, Bridgeless, Embedded AC-DC Power Supplies, External AC-DC Adapters and Bidirectional AC-DC Converters)

As The Premier Event in Applied Power Electronics, APEC focuses on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. This is not just a designer’s conference. APEC has something of interest for anyone involved in power electronics:
Equipment OEMs that use power supplies and dc-dc converters in their equipment
Designers of power supplies, dc-dc converters, motor drives, uninterruptable power supplies, inverters and any other power electronic circuits, equipment and systems
Manufacturers and suppliers of components and assemblies used in power electronics
Manufacturing, quality and test engineers involved with power electronics equipment
Marketing, sales and anyone involved in the business of power electronics
Compliance engineers testing and qualifying power electronics equipment or equipment that uses power electronics
