From 9 to 11 June 2026, the leading international exhibition and conference for power electronics, the PCIM Expo & Conference, returns to Nuremberg, Germany. With over 650 exhibitors and a record-breaking 500+ presentations, this hub for the power electronics industry will offer a comprehensive program for trade visitors. With the new AI & Data Centers Stage, this year’s trade fair and conference program will focus on the topic of artificial intelligence and data centers for the first time.

The escalating energy needs of modern data centers are driving demand for high-performance, energy-efficient, and sustainable solutions. With the new AI & Data Centers Stage, the PCIM Expo 2026 places a distinct emphasis on two of the most important future trends in power electronics. The new stage brings together a wide range of expert presentations and best practices addressing the growing influence of artificial intelligence and the escalating energy demands of modern data centers.

“The AI & Data Centers Stage is our first venture into providing a central platform for in-depth industry knowledge and cutting-edge inspiration on the topic of artificial intelligence. Visitors to the PCIM Expo can look forward to learning about the latest developments – from AI-powered design and monitoring processes to innovative energy management and power supply systems for data centers,” explains Lisette Hausser, Vice President PCIM at Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH.

The AI & Data Centers presentation program will focus on the topics “AI for Power Electronics” and “Power Electronics for Data Centers.” A total of 40 presentations will take place on stage.
