Name: September 25, 2023 - AirFuel Resonant ACE Program
Start: 2023-09-25T08:00:00-04:00
End: 2023-10-05T17:00:00-04:00

Learn How To Add Wireless Charging to Your Products

Join us for training program on AirFuel Resonant™ technology and how to integrate this wireless power technology into your product.

This hands-on course for engineers, led by industry experts in AirFuel Resonant technology, will deep-dive into technical details and each participant will leave with a working reference design to integrate into your prototypes and products.

The next ACE Program will be held from September 25 to October 5, 2023 as a two week course with virtual sessions on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 7pm – 10pm ET.

Course Overview

In the ACE Program, you will attend a mix of presentations on technical how-to’s and hands-on workshops to prepare you for applying AirFuel Resonant technology to your product.
