December 20, 2023: Battery Council International’s annual Power Mart Expo will be expanded to two days for its 2024 convention — which will mark the trade association’s 100th anniversary.

The specially-extended Expo, on April 22 and 23, will showcase battery industry trends and innovations from what should be a record-breaking number of exhibitors and attendees for the centennial BCI Convention + Power Mart Expo, being held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida from April 21 to 24.

Meanwhile, the deadlines for submissions for two prestigious industry awards to be presented at the event are just weeks away.

Submissions for BCI’s Amplify Award are due by January 16 and for the Innovation Award on January 23.

The Amplify Award recognizes marketing and communications excellence that showcases the lead battery industry.

The Innovation Award, dedicated to the memory of Sally Breidegam Miksiewicz, celebrates innovations within the lead battery industry that align with the guidelines of sustainability, safety, cost, performance, uniqueness and value.

Both awards will be presented at the Florida event.
