10 New Features

55 Speakers 17 Vehicle Manufacturers 10 Battery Manufacturers 16 Countries This year’s Forum has many more vehicle and battery manufacturers as speakers from countries such as Japan, India, USA, China, South Africa, Europe and Chinese Taipei. Save time and money instead of travelling to all of those countries to hear their market scenarios and experiences, join the conference, meet them all here and truly get a worldwide perspective.

Pick And Choose The Conference Days Most Useful To You This year’s format allows you to choose from 4 separate conference days. For example you can book day 1, day 2 and day 3 or only day 3 and day 4 or only day 1 and day 4. In other words we make it easier for you to register and pay only for what you find most suited to your learning needs.

From Materials To Recharging Infrastructure As you can see from the Forum programme alone, this year’s topics cover a wider variety of business models and applications such as 2 and 4 wheels, buses and trucks. In addition to that, the speakers will examine Materials, Safety, Standards and Testing issues, BMS, Power Train and Recharging Infrastructure. Get a full understanding of the business models for EVs by attending this conference.

The Elevator Pitch This is a unique opportunity to understand and get to know new entrepreneurial ideas in the Electric Vehicle and Battery value chain. Come and celebrate the best new individuals or organisations whose contributions demonstrate a new technology, material and/or proven research which could facilitate the penetration of EV battery systems or Electric Vehicles into the market place. 4 speakers will be selected to address the audience and a group of investors interested in new technologies. If you or one of your colleagues have an idea you would like to pitch, please apply through our website.

Networking Drinks And Buffet Dinner Recharge your batteries and get together for the Forum buffet dinner with your friends and colleagues from around the world! Space is limited and only open to speakers and delegates.

Programme Advisory Board To ensure that your time during the conference is well invested, we have researched the topics before inviting the speakers (see programme attached). The presentations and the speakers will also be selected further and evaluated by a panel of experts which make up our Programme Advisory Board. Apply now to be a speaker.

Poster Papers The scientific community are an increasingly important part of EV Battery conferences. In the exhibition space there will be a dedicated area for the scientific community to interact with the corporate and government community. The best poster will then be announced by our programme advisory board at the end of the Forum.

International Associations To date we have the input and partnership of 8 international associations from 5 different sectors of the EV value chain: including battery, electric vehicle and materials. Each one is being represented fairly in the programme and in an unbiased manner, thus giving you the chance to hear different opinions and learning experiences all in one place and in just two days.

Contribute With Your Opinion Everyone in the conference will be able to contribute with their opinion. We have devised 2 new ways to present and interact between speakers and delegates. More details will be revealed later.

Great Wall Of China It’s not all about work. Use this business trip to also visit the Great Wall Of China and the Forbidden City for less than US$100.

Researched and produced by Dufresne (doo-frayn) We only focus on energy storage business to business conferences and training courses in China with an international audience. This allows us to better understand the market and your learning and networking needs. Our “Energy Storage Forum” for grid integration and renewable resources that took place in Beijing in March 2010 was the first and only event of its kind in Asia, with attendees from 19 different countries. Now following the success of the Shanghai 2009 EV Li-ion Battery Forum, the Beijing 2010 EV Li-ion Battery Forum will bring an even stronger variety of topics and contacts. We are constantly looking for new ideas and committed to bring you practical information and networking exchange that will help the community to create solutions. Don’t just take our word for it, see in the next page what your colleagues said about our past events.
