Join Benchmark’s week of networking, dealmaking and policy in Washington DC for Giga USA 2025, a live, and in-person conference being held June 3-4 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.

Across two days and multiple streams, discussions will explore the rise of USA's lithium ion battery gigafactory economy and the need to build secure, sustainable supply chains for lithium, nickel, graphite, cobalt, manganese, rare earths and other critical raw materials.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) will hold its 2025 Annual Merit Review (AMR) on June 2-5, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City hotel in Arlington, Virginia.

Founded in 1983, the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit has established itself as the premier event showcasing the state of the art of worldwide energy storage technology developments for consumer, automotive, military, grid, and industrial applications. As the longest-running annual battery industry event in the world, this meeting has always been the preferred venue to announce significant developments, new products, and showcase the most advanced battery technology. For example, Sony chose the International Battery Seminar as the platform to first announce its lithium-ion technology in 1991, an accomplishment that has since gone on to change the world.

NAATBatt 2025, as all NAATBatt programs, is designed to maximize networking and business development opportunities for companies active in the North American advanced battery industry. This year’s program will focus on the challenges of growing businesses to scale in a world where volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity have become the norm. NAATBatt 2025 will assemble the world’s leading analysts and consultants to predict the industry’s future. Leading executives will speak to its challenges and opportunities. And NAATBatt member companies will give more than 150 short “Member Update Presentations” providing a roadmap of who in North America is doing what in the battery business.

Since 2016, Benchmark Week has been the leading gathering for the world’s lithium-ion battery supply chain and the wider energy transition.

This year, multiple content streams held simultaneously over three days will provide broader context of the opportunities and challenges facing clean energy supply chains, with in depth expert presentations & discussions alongside unrivalled networking, all hosted by Benchmark Mineral Intelligence.

Join advanced battery and electric hybrid and vehicle technology engineers, directors, and executives from thousands of companies walking the show floor, attending the conference, and looking for inspiration.

The Military Power Sources Consortium (MPSC) will hold its next on-site meeting on September 24th, 25th, and 26th at the Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials (Koura) facility in Madison, WI. This meeting, as usual, will be in conjunction with the DoD Power Sources Technical Working Group (PSTWG).

Join us as we take a deep dive into the challenges and opportunities California’s battery ecosystem faces in moving from innovation to manufacturing. Thought leaders from industry, communities, and labor, along with members of the research community, will discuss the challenges of reshoring next generation battery manufacturing, the critical role of innovation in the battery supply chain, and the need to invest in regional battery manufacturing, such as material processing and battery fabrication pilot lines, to serve the needs of industry, communities and the workforce in the region.
