Since 2015, the PSMA has collaborated with our friends in the China Power Supply Society (CPSS) to create innovative, ‘hot-topic’, power technology workshops.
The “Joint Workshop on Power Supply Technology Innovation” promotes exchanges and cooperation between worldwide enterprises & academia; facilitates communication and discussion on the trend of power supply industry according to the present development of the industry of China and the US. There will be several presentations from both PSMA and CPSS, each followed by a 5 minutes Q&A and will conclude with a networking social.
The workshop will again be part of the CPSS conference. For 2021, the conference will be in Shanghai, November 12th-15th and the CPSS expects over 1,600 attendees, 500 technical papers and a large exhibition hall.
The workshop is great exposure and networking event to reach Chinese markets, customers and academics, and also acts to advertise benefits of membership in the PSMA. Previous PSMA participants / contributors include Conor Quinn, Dhaval Dalal, David Chen, Ernie Parker, Aung Tu, Eric Persson, Mike Hayes and Stephen Oliver.
Prior ‘hot topic’ presentations covered IoT, technology roadmaps, energy harvesting, mobile fast charging, gallium nitride (GaN), data center power, etc., with more information below:

So, what are your ideas?!
leasure to inform you that CPSS Transactions on Power Electronics and Applications (CPSS TPEA) Vol. 4 No. 2 has been published. 
SMA and the China Power Supply Society (CPSS) have had reciprocal memberships between their organizations for several years. More recently, the organizations held workshop meetings during the past two APEC conferences to identify areas of mutual interest and cooperation that would benefit their respective membership and the power sources industry. At the 21st China Power Supply Society Conference (CPSSC 2015) in Shenzhen, China Nov 7th and 8th, several representatives from PSMA attended and held the third workshop with representatives from CPSS. Ernie Parker, PSMA Chairman, was invited to present a plenary presentation at the conference which included an overview of the PSMA organization and a focus on some recent technical activities.
