We are excited to share that the Third International Conference on Olivines for Rechargeable Batteries (OREBA3, https://oreba3.ca/), held on July 6–8, 2025, at Concordia University, was a tremendous success! With over 130 attendees—including leading experts, researchers, students, and industry professionals—the event fostered vibrant discussions on the pivotal role of olivine-based battery technologies in transport electrification and stationary energy storage. A heartfelt thank you to our opening panelists, invited speakers, sponsors, and the dedicated organizing committee, including Prof. Karim Zaghib, the Volt-Age team, and our amazing student volunteers. Your contributions made this conference both impactful and memorable. We are also deeply grateful to Concordia University, Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science, and The Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering for their generous support. We look forward to welcoming you again at IMLB 2026, which will take place in Montreal from June 14 to 19, 2026.
