The Sydney meeting goes public
How IMLB 2022 moved from an internal plan to a public invitation in October 2020.
The IMLB 2022 website and the first expression of interest opened to the battery community in October 2020. The launch marked the point at which the Sydney meeting moved from an internal plan to a public invitation.
The announcement introduced the 21st International Meeting on Lithium Batteries, the host role of CSIRO and the decision to meet at the International Convention Centre Sydney. It also set out the shape of the programme: plenary talks, invited sessions, posters and an exhibition.
A meeting with a long view
IMLB meetings are held every two years and bring together specialists from across the lithium battery field. The 2022 edition was designed to keep the basic science in view while making room for the industrial and minerals questions that shape the battery value chain.
The launch invited researchers, students and companies to register their interest early so the committee could understand the reach of the meeting and plan the programme around it.
What came next
The expression of interest was the first step in a longer campaign. Speaker announcements, a poster call and registration would follow over the next year. The meeting itself was scheduled for 26 June to 1 July 2022.
