Large-scale energy storage is becoming central to electrification, underpinning utility-scale systems and backup power as renewable deployment accelerates and grid reliability demands increase. In parallel, large-format cells are advancing higher-capacity applications, including heavy-duty and other energy-intensive sectors.
Emerging chemistries and new battery formats beyond traditional lithium-ion are broadening performance capabilities and deployment flexibility. This symposium brings together leaders across the value chain—from cell manufacturers to system integrators—to address key challenges and highlight the innovations shaping large-scale energy storage.
Coverage will include, but is not limited to:
- Lithium-ion Battery Advances for BESS
- Non-Lithium-ion Chemistry—Sodium-ion, Flow Batteries, etc.
- Battery Safety for Large Installations
- Battery Management Systems (BMS) for Large Scale and Large Format
- Market Outlook and Trends for Large-Scale Energy Storage
- Advances in Large-Format Batteries
- Large-Scale Battery Applications
- Energy Storage for Data Centers
- Manufacturing and Quality for Large-Format Batteries
- Supply Chain Dynamics and the Impact of Critical Material Sourcing
- Second Life Opportunities in Large-Scale Battery Deployments
The deadline for priority consideration is May 22, 2026.
All proposals are subject to review by session chairpersons and/or the Scientific Advisory Committee to ensure the overall quality of the conference program. Additionally, as per Cambridge EnerTech’s policy, a select number of vendors and consultants who provide products and services will be offered opportunities for podium presentation slots based on a variety of Corporate Sponsorships.
