2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC)

Driven by consumer awareness and demand for convenient charging, multiple technology approaches have been put forward and are active in the market. These approaches reflect the considerable growth in research and development of technologies for WPT. In response, a new technical committee of the IEEE MTT Society (TC-MTT-26) was formed in 2011 that focuses on wireless energy/power transmission, energy harvesting/conversion and related technologies. Following a successful meeting in Kyoto, Japan in 2012 (IMWSIWPT2012), a new conference on wireless powering, rotating between Europe, Asia and North America, started in Perugia, Italy in 2013 and was followed by WPTC2014 in Jeju, Korea. The 2015 WPT conference will be held in Boulder, Colorado, USA, supported by TC-MTT-26, endorsed by TC-MTT-24 (RFIDTechnologies) and hosted by the University of Colorado, Boulder. The meeting is intended to cover a broad range of areas related to devices, components, systems and applications of WPT across the electromagnetic spectrum.
