The Sodium-Ion Energy Storage & Battery Symposium is designed to provide industry practitioners with an authoritative, objective venue in which to discuss opportunities, challenges and advancements in Sodium-ion batteries and storage for grid-level and EV applications. The Symposium includes in-depth business and technical presentations, as well as panel discussions centered around key advances and implementations to date. A pre-conference TechBriefing sets the stage by providing background on comparative battery and grid storage technologies.
Individuals who wish to deliver a presentation during the Symposium or TechBriefing are invited to submit the following:
1. Name of speaker, title, company, and contact information
2. Presentation title
3. Abstract and objective of presentation (150 words)
4. Session for which presentation is intended (see preliminary agenda - subject to change)
5. Speaker biography and photo
6. Bullet list of 3-4 Key Learning Points from the presentation
Proposals should be emailed to speak@smartgridobserver.com by Friday, February 6, 2026
