W
ith the growing concerns of the worldwide
coronavirus pandemic, the IEEE Power
Electronics Society/Industrial Applications
Society (PELS/IAS) and Power Supply Manufacturers Association-sponsored 2020 Applied
Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC 2020)
in New Orleans, Louisiana, was cancelled for the safety of
the attendees. While it was a difficult decision, the health,
safety, and welfare of the community was paramount for
the organizers and sponsors of the 15-19 March 2020 conference. Although this was the first such cancellation in
APEC's 35-year history, the organizers were quick to offer a
virtual conference to those registered. In addition, peerreviewed papers accepted by the conference committee
were submitted to IEEE Xplore and are available to all.

z June 2020
Despite the challenges and adversities of COVID-19, the
organizers worked diligently to virtually bring the conference and its presentations to the registered community via
the APEC 2020 app and the eventScribe web portal. As a
result, I was given a password (access key) to access the
site and view a variety of the sessions. Before I go through
the conference papers and sessions, I would like to take the
opportunity to mention the vendors who promptly called
IEEE Power Electronics Magazine and presented the
latest trends in technologies and products online. The
unbelievable situation created by the COVID-19 outbreak
did not deter the vendors and emerging companies from
taking their latest advances and developments to editors
and reporters via phone and virtual meetings and booths.
As a result, I was lucky to talk to a variety of power semiconductor companies, passive component suppliers, and power
electronics experts, including marketing analysts, and
gather the latest advances in power electronics technology.
