Dec. 7-9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid features a virtual platform with keynotes and TechTalks livestreamed and available on-demand from the day after they are delivered through January 7, 2022. The virtual event showcases nearly 40 online exhibitors and includes video chats with exhibitors, automated matchmaking between attendees and exhibitors, and access to SEMI Smart Pavilions.

U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce Don Graves will join SEMI President and CEO Ajit Manocha to open SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid with a discussion on opportunities for the U.S. semiconductor industry enabled by the CHIPS for America Act and its potential impact.

“We have seen tremendous enthusiasm from attendees as we return to onsite events, and there has been tangible anticipation leading up to SEMICON West 2021,” said Dave Anderson, president of SEMI Americas and host for the gathering. “We have an outstanding lineup of keynotes and panels, so I encourage those who cannot join us in person to participate in the virtual program to gather insights from our speakers on emerging opportunities for the microelectronics industry and the most pressing challenges we are facing.”

Speakers at SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid will highlight sustainability, emerging semiconductor industry growth drivers, innovation opportunities, and lessons learned during the past two years of global challenges. With healthcare and MedTech as key semiconductor industry segments, thought leaders will also highlight innovation opportunities for the rapidly expanding biodesign and medical services device market.

The exhibition and conferences will also focus on opportunities and technology innovations for overcoming disruptive worldwide challenges such as threats to supply chain security, unmet demand for automotive and MedTech chips and related manufacturing equipment, and the semiconductor workforce shortage.
