The virtual convention will consist of a programme featuring five industry speakers, and will offer attendees an opportunity to interact with the content and speakers during a Q&A at the conclusion of each presentation. BCI will also recognise the 2020 Innovation Award winner and entrants during a video presentation.
The speakers will include:
Marc Zoellner, CEO, Hoppecke Batteries, Brilon, Germany
Alistair Davidson, Director, Consortium for Battery Innovation, London, England
Davis Knauer, East Penn Manufacturing, Co., Lyons Station, Pennsylvania, USA
Ray Kubis, Chairman, Gridtential, Santa Clara, California, USA
Nicholas Starita, President of the Energy and Industrial Systems Division, Hollingsworth & Vose Co., East Walpole, Massachusetts, USA
“On behalf of the BCI, I’d like to thank our membership for its continued support of our organisation,” said Roger Miksad, BCI executive vice president and general counsel. “We look forward to delivering valuable content to members and engaging with our community in a new and innovative forum. In addition to engaging with the members who we will miss seeing at our in-person convention, we hope that others who might not have been able to travel to the convention will join the programme.”

BCI is also once again collaborating with industry publication, Batteries International to prepare the annual BCI Yearbook. The Yearbook will be distributed in printed and digital forms following the virtual event. It will feature the full details of the 2020 Innovation Award, a comprehensive update of BCI’s regulatory and lobbying work in 2019 and its strategy for the coming year, and updates on the Advancing Lead Batteries Communications Initiative (ALBCI), as well as plans for the 2020 BCI Environmental, Health and Safety Conference in October 2020.
