Battery Associates – the first networking, consultancy and recruitment platform for battery
innovation – will host an unparalleled event to address the pressing challenges facing battery
development. On the occasion of Battery Day and on the back of TESLA’s anticipated address,
Battery Associates will gather battery experts globally to reinforce synergies across the
industries linked to battery development.
The event, hosted on Hopin, will take place on September 23 from 5pm to 8pm CEST (8am-
11am PT / 11am-2pm EST), and will comprise of two sections: the first, a free and public event
for all battery enthusiasts, featuring 2 keynote speakers and a set of networking activities, such
as ‘chat roulette’-style meetings. As a separate component to the event, a series of breakout
sessions will be held for selected ticket holders. The sector’s most innovative start-ups and
industry players are expected to attend.
Unlike most online conferences, ‘Battery Day 2020’ will dedicate a full hour to networking
activities, a decision inscribed in B.A’ long term vision. As the Founder and Chair of Battery
Associates remarks: “Our hope is that this event not only leads to new collaborations, but results
in establishing a forward-thinking platform and the ‘go-to’ network for battery development.”
Four breakout sessions will be held immediately after the public event for an opportunity to
discuss pressing issues around: Mobility, Stationary, Coding, and Recycling. Each breakout
session will be co-chaired by two leading figures from the energy, technology, or sustainability
sectors. Similarly as with the public event, a set of networking activities will follow the breakout
sessions to allow ticket holders to connect and engage with guests and speakers.
Battery Associates (B.A) was created to break down the silos in the field of battery
development. As the first platform of its kind, B.A aims to drive responsible battery innovation
forward by taking on the roles of a network, a consultancy database, and a highly specialised
recruitment platform.
Sustainable battery-powered energy – a crucial challenge of our time – requires the innovative
driving force of an event like B.A’s Battery Day. As the first battery-focused organisation to
merge the influence of a network with the resourcefulness of a consultancy and recruitment
platform, B.A is a game-changer in the field.
