Finding

The calendar clusters around a few anchor shows: CES in January, ACT Expo in May, The Battery Show in June and October, and the Chinese spring shows

Each anchor event serves a different layer of the industry: CES and the auto shows for product and OEM strategy, Work Truck Week, NAFA and ACT Expo for fleets and commercial vehicles, The Battery Show and CIBF for cells and manufacturing, electronica and IEDM for power semiconductors, and Power2Drive for charging and bidirectional power.

China's shows have become essential for anyone tracking batteries and EVs: Auto Shanghai, held in odd years, is where Chinese makers launch export models, and CIBF in Shenzhen is the largest battery industry fair, with CATL, BYD, EVE, CALB and the Chinese equipment makers that build most of the world's cell lines. Japan's Battery Japan and Japan Mobility Show cover Japanese materials suppliers and OEMs. Rows marked dates to confirm list the month the organizer usually holds the event; check the organizer's site before booking.

Past events are removed each quarter. The same list is kept as a dataset so it can be updated in one place.
