Quite simply, APEC 2006 was the best ever! More people (about 2500!) came to Dallas for APEC 2006 than have ever attended any previous APEC. The buzz was never ending! People could not stop talking about the Plenary Session, praised over and over again as the best ever. The Exhibit Hall was sold out, filled with booths from wall to wall and from floor to ceiling and with people filling the aisles any time the Exhibit Hall was open. There was considerable praise for the quality of the Professional Education Seminars, all of the presentations and the Dialogue Sessions were humming as swarms of people kept the authors busy explaining their work and getting valuable feedback.

Quite simply, if you missed APEC 2006, you missed the power electronics event of the year!

APEC 2006 continued the focus on the practical and applied aspects of the power electronics business. This was not just a designer's conference, APEC 2006 had something of interest for anyone involved in power electronics:

• Equipment OEMs that use power supplies and dc-dc converters in their equipment
• Designers of power supplies, dc-dc converters, motor drives, uninterruptable power supplies, inverters and any other power electronic circuits, equipments and systems
• Manufacturers and suppliers of components and assemblies used in power electronics
• Manufacturing, quality and test engineers involved with power electronics equipment
• Marketing, sales and anyone involved in the business of power electronics
• Compliance engineers testing and qualifying power electronics equipment or equipment that uses power electronics
