Final Stretch

CIGRE in Paris wraps up today and tomorrow

Every two years, CIGRE delivers collaborative knowledge development and a sharing program for the power system sector. Through extensive remote collaboration and periodic face-to-face events, experts from around the globe contribute to advancing the industry. This unique program culminates in the Paris Session – a leading international gathering for power system expertise that is wrapping up as we speak, with its final day August 28.

Held in Paris in even-numbered years, the Session attracts around 9,000 participants from more than 100 countries, including over 3,600 international experts and decision-makers. Over the course of a week, delegates take part in:

• 160+ working meetings

• 30+ Study Committee sessions

• 900+ technical papers covering the full breadth of the power system

It is described by the organization as "a one-of-a-kind interactive platform to exchange knowledge, debate challenges, and shape the future of energy." Established in 1921 in Paris, France, CIGRE is a non-profit global community committed to the collaborative sharing of power system expertise spanning distribution, transmission and generation.
