SEMICON West 2023 Set for July 11-13

Focusing on Building a Path Forward for the global semiconductor industry’s drive to $1 trillion and net zero, SEMICON West 2023 will gather industry experts and leaders July 11-13 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco for insights into the latest trends and innovations in sustainability, supply chain management, workforce development and other critical industry issues.

The event, North America’s premier exhibition and conference for the microelectronics supply chain, will feature keynotes and executive panels with thought leaders from the electronics design and manufacturing ecosystem, academia and government.

SEMICON West 2023 will also address key themes including government investment in chip manufacturing, heterogeneous integration, smart mobility, smart medtech and smart manufacturing.

“As a previous executive, exhibitor, board member and attendee of over 30 shows, I have never seen as many new and exciting enhanced show features as there will be at SEMICON West 2023,” said Joe Stockunas, president of SEMI Americas. “The program is shaping up to be an incredible lineup, leading each morning with the CEO Summit keynote presentations followed by full days of great content from industry leaders and networking activities. It’s a perfect opportunity and space to catch up with colleagues, grow your contacts and business, and extend conversations at nearby iconic San Francisco restaurants and happy hours. We are close to sellout in the exhibition halls and look forward to seeing you there.”
