SUBMIT CONFERENCE SESSION PROPOSAL 

We invite you to share initiatives you’ve delivered, the challenges you faced and how you addressed them, how you’ve reached new audiences, or other examples of good practice relevant to engineers and researchers in power system protection.

Our audience values practical, experience-led sessions and real-world case studies, combined with inspiration and thought leadership. We welcome a range of formats, including:

• Presentations on published papers
• Case studies
• Panel discussions
• Roundtables
• Workshops

Alternative formats are also welcome.

Materials presented in the Conference Sessions will not be included in the conference proceedings.  Each session will be between 15 and 45 minutes long, subject to the conference programme schedule and proposed content.

All Conference Session proposals must be submitted here. When you submit, please make sure you let us know the session outline and information about the proposed speaker(s). 

• Following the review of full papers, successful authors will be invited to attend and present their work at RPG Global 2027 by PowerPoint Presentation or Poster Presentation.
• Successful authors must register to attend and present their work at the conference by Thursday 15 April 2027 at the latest.  Failure to do so will result in the withdrawal of your paper.
• All successful authors and conference session contributors must pay the registration fee to attend the conference. An author registration covers a maximum of one paper, poster, tutorial, or conference session contribution. If an author has more than one paper presented then a co-author needs to register, or the author pays for an additional registration.
• Each accepted paper or poster should have at least one registered author. The author must be present at the conference to present the submission or the paper will not be published. 
• The IET cannot meet any travelling or subsistence expenses for authors, either prior to or during the conference
