  Energy Storage:   
Thinking Bigger for the New Grid  



Deployment and application of battery energy storage systems (BESS) continue to grow at an astonishing rate around the world, creating exciting opportunities to combine innovation and commercialization. With diverse energy storage methods, chemistries, and form factors, energy storage has tremendous potential to realize its potential for reliable, safe, and resilient electricity in an increasingly electrified world. Our 2025 event aims to bring together experts in technology research and innovation, storage implementation, commercialization and markets, and regulatory frameworks to explore how storage can continue to expand its real-world impact. Submit your abstract and plan to participate in one of the most significant energy storage events this year.

Submit your Abstract - due April 4

Please first review the information for authors — abstract submission guidelines.
