Against the backdrop of the global accelerated advancement of the strategic goals of carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, the in-depth integration of digital technologies (such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things, blockchain, and digital twins) with energy systems has emerged as a crucial driving force for improving energy utilization efficiency, ensuring the reliable operation of systems, and promoting sustainable development.

 

Against this background, the 2026 International Symposium on Digital Energy and Conversion Technologies is scheduled to be held in Sanya, China, from September 18 to 20, 2026. Hosted by HAINAN INSTITUTE OF ZHEJIANG UNIVERSITY and organized by institutions including Sanya Global Energy Research Institute, the symposium aims to build a high-level international academic exchange platform. It will bring together top global researchers, engineering and technical experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to conduct in-depth discussions on cutting-edge fields such as AI-driven energy big data analysis and decision-making, key energy conversion technologies, smart grids, and innovative digital energy solutions. The event is committed to advancing the innovative application of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the energy sector, accelerating the process of energy digital transformation, and contributing to the construction of a more intelligent, greener, and more resilient energy network.
