Call for proposals

Submit your proposals for presentations, keynote addresses, panel discussions, posters, and papers for IFBF 2026. Please help us create an interesting and varied agenda.

Can you tell us how to deliver an operating flow battery? Our audience at the International Flow Battery Forum wants to know how they can buy, install and operate a flow battery. It’s a broad subject area – we want to know about the applications and benefits of flow batteries, and we need to understand where the batteries have come from: How are they made? What is the supply chain for the materials and components? How do we improve performance, cut costs and increase reliability?

We invite you to submit proposals for presentations, keynote addresses, interviews, panel discussions, posters, and papers for IFBF 2026. Please help us create an interesting and varied agenda for the leading event of the flow battery sector. More than 300 delegates from all over the world are expected in Budapest on 16-18 June 2026, for 3 days of presentations and networking on energy storage and flow batteries.

We will continue to follow our theme of reporting on progress to create a strong flow battery industry which can deliver high volumes of flow batteries to meet the demands of a sustainable power sector. Flow battery deployments are increasing but the competition is still fierce. We would like to hear about technology improvements, commercial arrangements and new applications and discuss how these will impact on the future for the industry.

Budapest is well known as an outstanding city for its architecture and heritage. Hungary has a strong and developing energy storage industry with a growing battery energy storage sector. There are already several flow battery installations and more are planned. IFBF 2026 will be a face to face meeting, enabling contact networking with an international audience. There will be real time online access for remote attendees, but all presenters are expected to attend in person.

Attendance at the conference is part of Continuing Personal Development and we can provide certificates of attendance upon request. The conference language is English.
