After more than 50 years in San Francisco, SEMICON West is making its debut in Phoenix, Arizona! As Arizona transforms itself into a hub for semiconductor innovation, the introduction of SEMICON West is a testament to the state’s immense growth.
Francoise and I both live in Arizona, and we’re excited that so many of our members are coming here to attend SEMICON West. This year, we have 16 member companies presenting and 25 member companies (yes, 25!) exhibiting. With such a strong member presence at one of the industry’s largest events, we look forward to connecting with all of you. We hope you enjoy our weather, our food, our cacti, and of course, the event itself.
This year’s SEMICON West will feature new programs, as well as many of its tried-and-true sessions that have made the conference special for the last several decades. We’re excited to take part in SEMIquest – a brand new addition that’ll immerse attendees into the world of semiconductors at the Arizona Science Center. I’ll also be attending the event’s new executive panel series, complementing its longstanding CEO Summit Keynote program.
We’re also looking forward to our member keynotes, sessions, and panels. We’re thrilled to see that Giel Rutten from Amkor, John Kibarian from PDF Solutions, and Mukesh Khare from IBM, will be featured on the CEO Summit Keynote stage. With so much member activity and a new location added to the event’s rotation, SEMICON West 2025 will be one for the books.
