CIRED conferences
The Czech Committee of CIRED – Congres International des Reseaux Electriques de Distribution – belongs to the largest global organisation in the field of distribution networks. CIRED is part of a respected international forum of experts in the fields of research, design, manufacturing, operation and maintenance of distribution systems. CIRED CC brings together collective, individual and honorary members from the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
CIRED International Conferences
These bi-annual events inform the professional public about the latest knowledge, especially in the field of electricity distribution networks. Already the 26th International Conference CIRED 2021 took place on 20 – 23 September virtually and gave the opportunity to experts and participants from all over the world to participate.
The CIRED 2021 conference was a unique venue to interact with hundreds of key decision leaders in the electricity distribution industry. The conference was a platform to network with a wide international spectrum of delegates from the service, product, consulting and business sectors of the distribution industry. The next conference, the 27th CIRED 2023, is scheduled to take place non-virtually from 12 to 15 June in Rome.

The 24th annual conference of the CK CIRED once again – traditionally – fulfilled its mission: to provide a venue for a professional, working, but also informal meeting of experts in the field of energy.
In addition, to summarize the results of the work of experts, to discuss the current state, prospects and new trends in the energy sector not only in the Czech and Slovak Republics, but also in the European energy space.
