Further event opportunities
CIGRE @ eFLY
Time: Sat/Sun 12/13.09.2026
Place: Bern Airport, Belp BE
Visit the pioneers of small airplane electrification that are meeting yearly in Bern Airport and show us how we are just in front of a take-off into a decarbonized air traffic future. The event consists of a symposium, an exhibition, demo flights, passenger flights you can buy (or win with Electrosuisse for NGN/WIE) and a small food truck area. The full programme will be available only a few days prior to the event. CIGRE experts, NGN and WIE can REGISTER and thus will get access to special backstage activities. Other visitors find all needed information on https://electrifly-in.ch/ and can join without registration.
Note we will also have special Engineer guests from Germany, Austria and even further European countries from the EUREL platform this year – so it will become a great opportunity to expand your personal international network!

CIGRE.ch @ LILU (Lichtfestival Lucerne Walkthrough)
Time: Tue 19.01.2027 / 18:00 – 22:00
Place: Lucerne Railway Station, Exit KKL
This event is a traditional and informal NGN + WIE + CIGRE expert get together during the inspiring Lucerne Lichtfestival. We will meet and greet, walk through the artists installations in the old town of Lucerne and finally warm up in a coffee shop before travelling individually back.
We also draw a special attention to the projects of the first and second year students of the HSLU Bachelor Animation, who typically are involved inside and around the Peters Chappel between Chappel Bridge and Schwanenplatz.
Here you find an impression on the previous 2025 visit.
