Optimal readiness and stronger alliances across the semiconductor supply chain to confront future global disruptions will come into sharp focus at SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid, Dec. 7-9 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The event, North America’s premier microelectronics exhibition and conference, will gather more than 150 industry leaders from the semiconductor ecosystem, academia and government for on-site keynotes, fireside chats, and executive panels. Registration is open.
SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid will 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.
With the healthcare and MedTech segments key semiconductor industry growth drivers, the following thought leaders at SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid will highlight innovation opportunities for the rapidly expanding biodesign and medical services device market.
• Lisa Davis, SVP and CIO, Blue Shield of California.
• Josh Makower, M.D., director and co-founder of Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign, Stanford University School of Medicine and Engineering.
• Aashima Gupta, director, global healthcare strategy and solutions, Google Cloud.
SEMICON West 2021 will also feature presentations on key semiconductor industry issues:
• Megan Smith, third US CTO and former assistant to the US president, and CEO at Shift7.
• James Gellert, chairman and CEO, RapidRatings.
• Rick Bergman, EVP for computing and business graphics, AMD.
• Rick Wallace, President and CEO, KLA.
• John Kotter, Konosuke Matsushita Professor of Leadership Emeritus, Harvard Business School.
• Tim Archer, President and CEO, Lam Research.
Panel: How to Drive Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in today’s workplace with EMD Electronics, National GEM Consortium and McKinsey & Company
In addition, SEMICON West 2021 Hybrid Smart Pavilions will feature data-sharing breakthroughs that are leading to smarter manufacturing processes, higher yields, and new semiconductor innovations:
• Smart Mobility Pavilion – Leading all new application spaces in chip growth, the transportation and mobility markets promise to fuel the expansion of segments such as flexible hybrid electronics (FHE), MEMS and sensors. The pavilion will also showcase semiconductor industry growth opportunities through advances in areas such as autonomous vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT) applications, 5G and artificial intelligence (AI).
• Smart MedTech Pavilion – The pavilion will focus on future MedTech markets and applications and include technology demonstrations. Industry experts will discuss medical wearables and point-of-care instrument innovations driven by development of MEMS-based sensors and actuators. Sales of the devices are expected to increase by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8% between 2020 and 2025, according to IC Insights.
• Workforce Development Pavilion – Building the microelectronics industry’s talent pipeline to sustain the current pace of innovation and growth is a top priority. Targeting both new strategies for recruiters and tactics for job seekers, the pavilion will highlight entry-level opportunities, searching for a job during uncertain times, and why microelectronics is a smart career choice.
