CharIN Conference EUROPE 2026 – Germany

Bridging the Gap between Vision and Reality: From E-mobility to Energy

Join our conference on September 22, 2026!

View the CharIN Conference program

Host: Phoenix Contact

As part of the Phoenix Contact Group, Phoenix Contact E-Mobility develops a broad portfolio of charging technology for sustainable, networked, and practical mobility. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance components for the development of modern charging infrastructure and for the electrification of utility vehicles and mobile machines.

With the vision of an All Electric Society, Phoenix Contact is driving the international standardization of intelligent charging solutions and working closely with partners from industry, the energy sector and the mobility sector with the common goal of accelerating the mobility and energy transition.

As host of the CharIN Testival in the All Electric Society Park, Phoenix Contact is creating a place where the industry brings together technologies and real-life applications. Here, what would otherwise remain abstract becomes visible: Testing international charging standards for reliable mobility and High Power Charging as an essential building block of our energy systems. With the CharIN Conference, we are shedding light on cooperation across sector boundaries - from mobility and charging infrastructure to electrification, digitalization, and automation.

The All Electric Society Park, headquarters Phoenix Contact

Location: The All Electric Society Park – Phoenix Contact

The mobility sector accounts for around one-third of global energy consumption and therefore holds enormous potential to accelerate the energy transition. A key element in achieving this is sector coupling: by intelligently linking different energy sectors, energy flows can be viewed holistically and managed so that energy is available everywhere at any time. This idea forms the basis of the vision of an All Electric Society. 

The All Electric Society Park in Blomberg brings this future to life. It offers an interactive environment where visitors can experience how renewable energy is generated, stored, distributed, and used efficiently – for example in the areas of mobility, infrastructure, and industry. With real-world applications and demonstrations of sector coupling, the park vividly illustrates how a carbon-neutral society can already be achieved today using existing technologies. This exceptional location offers the ideal setting for the Testival, perfectly combining innovation, practical relevance, and a forward-looking vision.
