The inaugural 2026 IEEE Power & Energy Society (PES) International Meeting (IM), will be jointly presented by IEEE Power & Energy Society and Research Centre for Grid Modernization at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The premier event will be held at the Kowloon Shangri-La in Hong Kong SAR, China on 18 – 21 January 2026 and will kick off with the event theme: Global Power and Energy Systems Resilience: Leveraging Collaborative Expertise.

The IEEE PES IM will be the premier annual power and energy engineering event outside North America. It will bring together leading PES members, executives, power and energy engineers, key academics, and engineering students worldwide.

In a world where energy crises respect no borders and the need for cutting-edge power and energy technologies continues to expand, this event aims to unite communities across regions and provide an international forum for experts to network, promote, share, and discuss various global issues and developments in the field of power and energy engineering. It also provides a unique forum for international experts who are unable to attend the annual IEEE PES General Meeting held in North America and for all who are interested in exploring global collaboration through IEEE PES.
