Automotive Battery Pack Integration 2024

ITB’s first annual battery pack integration conference takes place on June 12th, 2024, and focuses on commercialization of solutions to reduce cost while improving performance. Developments for integrating battery pack component functions, to simplify designs, and reduce or eliminate materials while continually ensuring safety requirements will be presented.

Plan now to attend and leverage our event to meet OEMs with engineering challenges, and connect with companies throughout the supply chain who are improving technologies and designs. This conference promotes exchanging ideas and sets the stage for continuing discussions, meetings, and business collaborations. CLICK HERE to view the program agenda.

Want to showcase your technologies and developments shaping the future of battery packs, components and materials, and promote your industry capabilities and position? Sign up as a sponsor and/or exhibitor.

In conjunction to this event, ITB is hosting its annual Thermal Management Systems 2024 conference on June 13th (same venue). Opportunities to participate in both events are available!
