15 E-Mobility Engineering | July/August 2026 INDUSTRY The Battery Show North America scales up for 2026 Now in its sixteenth year, The Battery Show returns to Huntington Place in downtown Detroit this October as North America’s largest gathering for advanced battery and electric vehicle technology. With more than 1300 exhibitors, 250+ expert speakers and upwards of 140 hours of conference programming across four days, the 2026 edition reflects an industry navigating a period of significant policy flux, supply chain restructuring, and continued pressure to deliver on performance and cost targets. The show’s five conference tracks cover the breadth of the sector: Advanced Battery Technology; EV Battery and Powertrain Integration; Battery Manufacturing and Gigafactories; Energy Storage Systems and Grid Applications; and Electrified Aviation and Advanced Mobility. The last of these underlines how far the event’s scope has extended beyond the automotive core that defined its early editions. Two new additions distinguish the 2026 programme. An Executive Summit on October 15 offers a closed-door, one-day forum for C-suite leaders to address strategy, market conditions and the regulatory environment – a recognition that the decisions shaping the next investment cycle are increasingly being made at boardroom level. Separately, the inaugural Battery Awards ceremony will mark outstanding achievement across battery and EV technology development. “The Battery Show brings together the minds driving electrification forward, creating a concentrated environment where engineers solve technical challenges, executives forge strategic partnerships and innovators access the insights that will define the next decade of energy storage,” says Shamara Ray, group event director at Informa Markets Engineering. “If you’re building the future of batteries and electric vehicles, this is where critical decisions get made and real progress happens.” Keynote speaker announcements are expected shortly. thebatteryshow.com EV World Dubai Tuesday 10 – Thursday 12 November Dubai, UAE www.evworld.ae electronica Tuesday 10 – Friday 13 November Munich, Germany www.electronica.de Thermal Management Expo Europe Tuesday 10 – Thursday 12 November Stuttgart, Germany www.thermalmanagementexpo-europe.com RE+ 2026 Monday 16 – Thursday 19 November Las Vegas, USA www.re-plus.com London EV Show Wednesday 18 – Thursday 19 November London, UK londonevshow.com Future Battery Forum Tuesday 24 – Wednesday 25 November Berlin, Germany en.futurebattery.eu AABC Monday 7 – Thursday 10 December San Diego, USA www.advancedautobat.com/us electrive LIVE #6: Future Battery Wednesday 9 December Online www.electrive.com/events/electrive-live-6-future-battery IEMDC-2027 Monday 17 – Thursday 20 May 2027 Milwaukee, USA www.iemdc.org Diary
